“Oh that we had more guns!”: John James Audubon’s Missouri River Journals and His Hidden Conservation Ethic
This program is in conjunction with the current spring exhibition, Winter Denizens, The Sweet Birds Sing Selected Works from the Louise Hauss and David Brent Miller Audubon Collection. The exhibition is on display in Louise Hauss and David Brent Miller Audubon Galleries from January 30–May 15, 2016. Ever since his childhood of perfect freedom to roam about the countryside of his western South Carolina home, Daniel Patterson has not ceased to be drawn to the natural world—or to books about it. He is now a scholar of early American natural history and nature writing and professor of English at Central Michigan University.
