John James Audubon, an early American naturalist and painter, produced one of the greatest works of natural history and art of the nineteenth century, The Birds of America. As the record of the interior story of the making of this monumental work, his journal of 1826 is one of the richest documents in the history of American culture.The first accurate transcription of Audubons 1826 journal, this edition corrects many of the errors, both intentional and unintentional, found in previous editions. Such errors have obscured the figure of Audubon as a man struggling to realize his professional and artistic dreams.

These journal entries, conveying with energy and emotion Audubons experience of risking everything on a dreamOh, America, Wife, Children and acquaintances, Farewell!document an American icons transformation from a beleaguered backwoods artist and naturalist to the man who would become Americas premier ornithologist, illustrator of birds, and nature essayist.
