    <![CDATA[John James Audubon came to America as a dapper eighteen-year-old eager to make his fortune. He had a talent for drawing and an interest in birds, and he would spend the next thirty-five years traveling to the remotest regions of his new country&#8211;often alone and on foot&#8211;to render his avian subjects on paper. The works of art he created gave the world its idea of America. They gave America its idea of itself. <br/><br/>Here Richard Rhodes vividly depicts Audubon&#8217;s life and career: his epic wanderings; his quest to portray birds in a lifelike way; his long, anguished separations from his adored wife; his ambivalent witness to the vanishing of the wilderness. <em>John James Audubon: The Making of an American</em> is a magnificent achievement.]]>
