Omschrijving
""Sketch of the Life of Alexander Wilson"" is a biographical work written by George Ord in 1828. The book provides a comprehensive account of the life of Alexander Wilson, a Scottish-American ornithologist, poet, and illustrator, who is considered one of the most important figures in the history of American ornithology. The book covers Wilson's early life in Scotland, his immigration to America, and his subsequent career as a teacher, poet, and naturalist. It also details his travels throughout the United States, where he observed and documented the country's diverse birdlife, and his eventual publication of his seminal work, ""American Ornithology"". The book provides insight into Wilson's personal life, including his struggles with poverty and illness, as well as his relationships with other prominent figures of his time, such as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Overall, ""Sketch of the Life of Alexander Wilson"" is a fascinating account of the life of a pioneering naturalist and artist, whose contributions to the study of American birds continue to be celebrated today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
