John James Audubon in the West: The Last Expedition

"Millions of nature lovers are familiar with John James Audubon's exquisite portraits of birds. Less well known yet of immense significance is a second masterwork by the noted artist/naturalist, The Viviparious Quadrupeds of North America - a series of illustrations devoted to the four-legged mammals of North America.

The story of these images and how they came to be published is the subject of this fascinating book, which accompanies a traveling exhibition organized by the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming."--BOOK JACKET.
