"Audubon the Naturalist: A History of His Life and Time" by Francis Hobart Herrick is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This two-volume work delves into the life of John James Audubon, a renowned ornithologist and wildlife artist, exploring not only his personal journeys but also the historical context surrounding his significant contributions to natural history. The book likely captures Audubon's unique character, his artistic endeavors, and the challenges he faced, effectively bringing to light the influential figure he was in the world of science and art. The opening of the book sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of Audubon, emphasizing the mystery that shrouded his early life and the determination of Herrick to uncover the truth.
