A wholly satisfying biography of one of the most romantic figures of early American history, the naturalist, Audubon. Miss Rourke has taken her place in the forefront of the depicters of American pioneering, and in collecting the material for this biography, she has done not only a very scholarly piece of research, weighing evidence, selecting anecdotal material which has the note of authenticity, but she has done a creative piece of work as well in breathing life into the figure of her hero. A fine piece of bookmaking -- good type and beautiful reproductions of 12 original Audubon plates in full color.
