As the summer of 1821 began, John James Audubon's ambition to create a comprehensive pictorial record of American birds was still largely a dream when, out of economic necessity, he came to Oakley Plantation, a sprawling estate in Louisiana's West Feliciana Parish. Teeming with what Audubon described as an "almost supernatural" abundance of birds, the woods of Oakley galvanized his sense of possibility for one of the most audacious undertakings in the annals of art. In A SUMMER OF BIRDS, journalist and essayist Danny Heitman sorts through the facts and romance of Audubon's summer at Oakley, drawing upon a rich variety of Audubon's extensive journals, recent Audubon scholarship, and Robert Penn Warren's poetry to create a stimulating excursion across time, linking the historical Audubon to the present-day civic and cultural icon. Includes 46 color illustrations plus 18 halftones and 1 map.
