“Rhodes has managed to do for Audubon what Audubon did for birds. .
. in this splendid biography Rhodes has produced nothing less than
a portrait of the United States in its formative years.”
–The New York Times Book Review
“Panoramic yet intensely detailed. . . .[Rhodes] has conveyed the
thrust of his subject’s imagination and the force of his movement
as if painting Audubon from life.”
– San Francisco Chronicle
“Rhodes has given us the most three-dimensional portrait yet of
Audubon the man.”
—The Washington Post Book World
“More than a mere biography: it is a comprehensive history of a man
and his era. . . . Rhodes breathes life again into the world in
which Audubon lived.”
–Los Angeles Times Book Review
