Simply amazing! I learned so much about early America and about all the animals that are now endangered or extinct because of over hunting.
Very easy to read with an exciting page turning journey.

The most I can say is that I learned a little about Audubon. My guess is that PETA would not be thrilled about him.
Like Audubon's paintings, which I find awe-inspiring, this concise, informative biography made me want to go walk in the woods and watch birds and other wildlife. I hadn't realized he shot and killed all the birds and animals he drew, so he could draw them "from life" (er, death). A little gem of a book.

Quick read - finished in about 2.5 hours. Really interesting historical perspective on early American life, wildlife and art. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Good introduction to Audubon's life and legacy, placed in context, with some great examples of his work.
