John Burroughs traces the wandering life of the man who painted every American bird he could find. From a French boyhood to the frontier years, the failed businesses and the triumphant folios, this brief life honors Audubon's stubborn devotion to the birds. One great naturalist writing about another. Discover the restless spirit behind the plates.
