About
Juditha Dowd's verse biography, AUDUBON'S SPARROW, is told in the voice of Lucy Bakewell Audubon, the remarkable but little-known wife of naturalist John James Audubon. It follows the couple through the extraordinary early years of their long relationship, a journey marked by heroism, poverty, perseverance and love amidst the constant challenges of the American frontier. An illuminating back-story for what was to become Audubon's masterwork, The Birds of America. Available now at https://rosemetalpress.com/books/audubons-sparrow/
