A historical study of American ornithology before the arrival of Audubon, this comprehensive work is a must-have for any student of natural history. It traces ancient bird lore from ancient Greece to colonial bird observations in America to conclude with early American Republic key figures. Comparing Old and New World ornithological approaches throughout the first and second millennium with more than 50 illustrations, it paints a vivid picture of the rich study of natural history in America and beyond. Rare and impactful, this is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find publication.
