John James Audubon is a biographical book written by John Burroughs that tells the story of the life and work of the famous American ornithologist and artist, John James Audubon. The book provides a detailed account of Audubon's childhood, his early interest in birds, and his travels through America's wilderness to observe and draw birds. Burroughs explores Audubon's artistic process, including his use of taxidermy and his meticulous attention to detail in creating lifelike illustrations of birds. The book also delves into Audubon's personal life, including his failed business ventures and his struggles with mental illness. Throughout the book, Burroughs highlights Audubon's contributions to the field of ornithology, including his groundbreaking work on bird behavior and migration patterns. The book also discusses Audubon's impact on conservation efforts, including the establishment of the Audubon Society. Overall, John James Audubon is a comprehensive and engaging biography that provides readers with a thorough understanding of Audubon's life, work, and legacy.""Had a man the size of a mountain spoken to me in that arrogant style in America, I should have indignantly resented it; but where I then was it seemed best to swallow and digest it as well as I could. So in reply to the offensive arrogance of the banker, I said I should be honoured by his subscription to the ""Birds of America."" 'Sir, ' he said, 'I never sign my name to any subscription list, but you may send in your work and I will pay for a copy of it. Gentlemen, I am busy. I wish you good morning.' We were busy men, too, and so bowing respectfully, we retired, pretty well satisfied with the small slice of his opulence which our labour was likely to obtain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
