...for the modern reader, a profound reminder of how the speed of communications technology has changed just about everything...we are very lucky indeed to have a definitive transcription of the document that describes how that happened. Anthony Doerr, author of the story collection Memory Wall writing for The Boston Globe, July 2011 ...now edited for the first time to preserve what he actually wrote, rather than what previous editors thought he should have written. John McEwen, Country Life

Audubon's 1826 journal is one of the few surviving portions of his extensive journals, and a new, scholarly, and correct transcription is a welcome contribution and will become the standard for Audubon scholars and fans alike. --Ron Tyler, director of the Amon Carter Museum and author of Audubon's Great National Work: The Royal Octavo Edition of The Birds of America--Ron Tyler (10/06/2010)
