Abstract
NATURALISTS and many who are not naturalists will find this an entertaining book. It gives in great detail the incidents of certain years of Audubon's life, years in which he was carrying on his work in the field, or else meeting every day men who are still noteworthy. The book is founded upon unpublished journals and letters, of which parts are given at length. All has been corrected by recollections handed down in the family, and the zoological, information has been revised by Dr. Elliott Coues. A summary of the naturalist's life is prefixed. We have now a full and lively account of what is most memorable in the life of Audubon.
