H •>•• 0 I iiwi i By T&d Kitting a No man has loved American ■wild life more than John James Audubon. It is this affinity of his with the wilderness that makes him important to us today. The lessons he learned from experience still have a real val ue for the sportsmen of today. He was actually a creature of the forest rather than a studio artist or scholarly naturalist. According to historical writer Moran Tudury he shared its secrets. Not even the In dian knew our wildlife any better. There was nothing in his appear ance to suggest the artist, Deerskin leggins were his dress. He pos sessed great physical strength, tire less energy. He was an excellent marksman; hunting quail and grouse was his favorite sport. The only meat he thought worth eating was game— especially venison. Audubon was a sportsman’s artist. His pictures had the wilderness color and feel. His great fame today makes us forget the obstacles he had to over come securing their publication. We forfet that this was the work of a penniless enthusiast. To get his pic tures, he roamed the American wilder ness for years, and at a constant risk life and limb. He thought nothing of I TUWWi/ ■B s FZEI / h||§| BIG or small service 'em all. Get your money's worth of wear from your shoes.

But none of these things mattered to him—danger or privation or discouragement. He was born in 1785 on what is now known as Haiti. The call of the wilderness came early to him, and hi 3 boyhood was filled with a single pas sion: he wanted to hunt, to sketch birds to be a taxidermist-to learn everything possible about wildlife. When he was 18 his father sent him to Pennsylvania. Later he mar ried, moved to Louisville and tried to settle down as a storekeeper. But how could he keep his mind on busi ness when everywhere around were the .exciting sights and sounds of the wilderness? His business failed. He moved to Cincinnati, where he sup ported his family by worning as a taxidermist. By now a definite plan was form ing in his mind. He wanted to make a book of pictures that would show every kind of American bird. And in order to do this he would have to see them all: to visit swamp and prairie, forest, river and gulf. His wife encouraged him. Twenty years passed on the fron tiers before he amassed enough pic tures and money to sail for England to arrange for their publication. “Birds of America” brought Audubon fame. But all during the years when its separate numbers were being pub lished, he was still working to make it better. Harassed by the fear that it might be incomplete, he went every where in search of additional water birds. Sometimes his work was bitterly criticized by rival naturalists and pub lishers. But this didn’t disturb him much. All that interested him was to be in the woods again. The way that Audubon figured was that there was always something for him to see and learn. If it concerned the outdoor life, that was enough for him. Poultry Council Is Formed In State Union County poultryman, H.
