Synopsis
The Birds of America. One man's dream to illustrate and publish a work depicting all the birds of North America. Midway through the nearly twelve-year project, the French-American painter and naturalist John James Audubon was beset by obstacles and began to doubt if he could complete it. This overlooked chapter in his life comes alive in this volume, as Audubon faces a difficult test while the fate of his "Great Work" hangs in the balance.

Review
Even the parts of Audubon's life that have been told before are so freshly presented here that they make a gripping read. His experiences in Labrador, rarely discussed in this detail by other scholars, give a fascinating new perspective to Audubon's life. -- Robert McCracken Peck "Author of A Glorious Enterprise: The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia"
Peter Logan has written a magnificent account of Audubon's expedition to Labrador, in which he describes the dedication of Audubon and his companions in their search for material for his great work, and their excitement in finding new discoveries. -- John Chalmers, M.D "Author of Audubon in Edinburgh"
Peter Logan offers a superbly well-documented, well-written, and readable account of the months Audubon spent in Labrador. Logan's insights into this remarkable man's life, courage, and sheer determination deserve a wide readership. This is a real contribution to the Audubon saga. -- Christine E. Jackson "Author of John James Laforest Audubon: An English Perspective and Bird Etchings: The Illustrators and Their Books: 1655-1855"
