UNDER A WILD SKY

JOHN JAMES AUDUBON AND THE MAKING OF THE BIRDS OF AMERICA

“William Souder superbly captures John James Audubon in all his infuriating, contradictory, admirable richness--publicly vainglorious while consumed by self-doubt, a chronic liar and buckskin-clad charmer, an artistic visionary and peerless naturalist a generation ahead of his time.”

— Scott Weidensaul
