John James Audubon's Journal of 1826
University of Nebraska Press (Verlag)
978-0-8032-7517-1 (ISBN)
John James Audubon’s journal of 1826 details the months leading up to his creation of The Birds of America, one of the greatest works of natural history and art of the nineteenth century. The first accurate transcription of Audubon’s 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.
John James Audubon (1785–1851) is one of America’s premier wildlife artists.

Serrano is the official translator of the English/Spanish Language at Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas–ESPE, in Sangolqui, Ecuador. John R. Knott is a professor emeritus of English at the University of Michigan and the author and editor of numerous works, including Imagining the Forest: Narratives of Michigan and the Upper Midwest.
