4.9/5 (10185 ratings)

Description:Alexander Wilson, expatriate Scotsman, poet, & reformer, has been called ''the Father of American Ornithology.'' This collection of his letters, many of them new & many complete for the first time, captures a splendid & stimulating time in American history. Wilson was a confidant of William Bartram, a correspondent of Thomas Jefferson, a sensitive personality who set out as he said to make ''a collection of all our finest birds.'' In pursuit of this goal he traveled through much of the eastern part of the U.S., often on foot. His letters well document the joy he felt at each new discovery as well as the terrible physical hardships he endured. Though later overshadowed by J.J.
