Book Description:

John James Audubon is renowned for his masterpiece of natural history and art, "The Birds of America," the first nearly comprehensive survey of the continent's birdlife. And yet few people understand, and many assume incorrectly, what sort of man he was. How did the illegitimate son of a French sea captain living in Haiti, who lied both about his parentage and his training, rise to become one of "the" greatest natural historians ever and the greatest name in ornithology?
