In the Days of Audubon: A Tale of the Protector of Birds, With an Appendix on the Formation of Audubon Societies (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from In the Days of Audubon: A Tale of the Protector of Birds, With an Appendix on the Formation of Audubon SocietiesThe forest tales of Audubon furnish also one of the most realistic pictures of the early history of pioneer life in our country. Folk-lore is sometimes the truest history. The stories in the Ornithological Biographies of Audubon picture what America was in the times of the foresters.But, above all, Audubon was a true man, and his char acter was formed on the right models, and for the reason that he made his birds immortal in perfect art, he himself became immortal.This is the impression I have sought to make in this interpretation of the life of the American Woodman.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
