Rosy Finches range from Alaska

suggested abovef, occasionally east
to Maine. It is the Gray-crowned
subspecies that gives us this east

' Sometimes the generic name Leu
costicte is used as a common name
for this bird. The Rosy Finch is
most likely to' be found above tim
berline in mountainous snow fields.
It is about 8 inches long. The gen
eral color is dark brown but there
is a pink cast to wings and rump.
The best field characters are the
dark brown breast nigh chirping
notes and the light gray patch on
the back of the neck that shows
conspicuously in our illustration.
The hen birds are less conspicu
ously marked than are the males
and the neck patch may be rather
inconspicuous except on close ex
amination. In winter, the male may
show light brown edgings on some
of the feathers of the back and
wings. The female also shows some
seasonal variation.

In "A History of the Southern

the first book to give in perspective

forces that disrupted the Union, the
life of the soldiers, the personali
ties of the leaders, Confederate dip
lomacy,' naval warfare, and the ef
fect of the war upon socla) life and
on the mind and spirit of the people.
In his Preface to "A History of
