John James Audubon
By John Burroughs (1837-1921)

Audubon’s life naturally divides itself into three

periods: his youth, which was on the whole a gay

and happy one, and which lasted till the time of

his marriage at the age of twenty-eight; his

business career which followed, lasting ten or

more years, and consisting mainly in getting rid

of the fortune his father had left him; and his

career as an ornithologist which, though

attended with great hardships and privations,

brought him much happiness and, long before the end, substantial
pecuniary rewards. (Summary from the Preface of John James Audubon)
