Book Description

Excerpt from A Kentucky Cardinal In this room, then, and at this window begins the history of my outdoor life. There my impressions of the physical world took earliest shape and meaning; whatsoever un important habits of observation I may possess were there formed, directed, and rewarded; and if I have ever written anything concern ing Nature which shows the slightest knowl edge or feeling - if in far later years I have ever lingered over a page, vainly trying to put upon it the reality of external things as they seem to us, and the reality of the emo tions they arouse in us - the origin of it all goes back to that time and place.
