Industry Reviews
"The great virtue here is not so much in giving a thorough, modern life of Audubon...; it is in making Lucy Audubon a full partner in the enterprise....Outstanding."
Kirkus (06/01/2004)
"His life makes an engaging story, and Pulitzer Prize winner Rhodes chronicles every aspect of it, the commonplace as well as the audacious, in this thoroughly researched biography. Rhodes's prose style is subtle..., and he presents an agreeable picture of a man who charmed almost everyone he met...."
Publishers Weekly (06/14/2004)
"[Rhodes] conveys both the singular glories of the early American wilderness...and the solitary desperation of Audubon's labors."
New Yorker (11/08/2004)
"Rhodes has managed to do for Audubon what Audubon did for birds. And like Audubon, who insisted on life-size paintings and prints, and who saw his BIRDS OF AMERICA as a kind of grand rendering of the entire country, in this splendid biography Rhodes has produced nothing less than a portrait of the United States in its formative years....Rhodes...possesses tremendous technological and historical mastery, but it is his novelistic evocation, based on what feels a near complete identification with his subject, that gives his book its uplifting energy."
