Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of John James Audubon: The Naturalist Audubon lived in a period of our history which is fast receding from view, and of which the personal memoirs and portraitures are by no means abundant. He was a keen, sympathetic observer not merely of the birds and animals, but of men and things generally; and, though by no means a first-class literary workman, there are yet at times wonderful vividness and truth about some of his off-hand sketches which, of their kind, it would not be easy to match. How clearly the coon-hunter of Kentucky, loading his rifle, stands before one in the following passage: "The hunter has taken an axe from the wood-pile, and, returning, assures us that the night is clear, and that we shall have rare sport. He blows through his rifle to ascertain that it is clear, examines his flint, and thrusts a feather into the touch-hole. To a leathern bag swung at his side is attached a powder-horn; his sheathed knife is there also; below hangs a narrow strip of home-spun linen. He takes from his bag a bullet, pulls with his teeth the wooden stopper from his powder-horn, lays the ball on one hand, and with the other pours the powder upon it until it is just overtopped. Raising the horn to his mouth, he again closes it with the stopper, and restores it to its place. He introduces the powder into the tube, springs the box of his gun, greases the 'patch' over some wetted tallow, or damps it, then places it on the honeycombed muzzle of his piece. The bullet is placed on the patch over the bore, and pressed with the handle of the knife, which now trims the edges f the linen. The elastic hickory rod, held with both hands, smoothly pushes the ball to its bed: once, twice, thrice has it rebounded. The rifle leaps as it were into the hunter's arms, the feather is drawn from the touch-hole, the powder fills the pan, which is closed. 'Now I am ready, ' cries the woodsman." It is worthy of note that neither of the great American ornithologists was in the strict sense an American.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Audubon the Naturalist: A History of His Life and Time The origin of the gifted ornithologist, animal painter, and writer, known to the world as J ohn J ames Audubon, has te mained a mystery up to the present time.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Services of John James Audubon: An Address Delivered Before the the New York Academy of Sciences, April 26, 1893 His trip with Stein was a failure financially, and returning to Natchez he went to Philadelphia. There he met the artist Sully, who gave him valuable lessons in Oil painting, and he worked hard to complete his drawings of birds. His friends and the engravers of Wilson's plates all recommended him to visit Europe, and he decided to follow their advice, and left Philadelphia to return to Bayou Sara. III New York he was introduced by Dr. Dekay to the members of the Lyceum of Natural History, now the Academy of Sciences, which has been instrumental in raising the monument this day unveiled, and under whose auspices we meet this evening.

III a few days I shall be in the woods and quite forgotten. Oii arriving at Bayou Sara he began to consider what he could do to hasten the publication Of his drawings.
