They once darkened the sky in flocks of billions, and then they were gone. William Mershon assembles the record of the passenger pigeon, its vast migrations, its slaughter, and its swift extinction. Sobering, thorough, and deeply moving. A memorial and warning built from firsthand accounts. Read the story of the bird that filled the heavens and vanished within a lifetime. Remember what abundance can lose.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
