"Anyone interested in the rural south in the first half of the 19th century, particularly Alabama, would be fascinated by this book. The comments of an early natualist, steamboat travel, family life, hunting, and his reaction to slavery are priceless. If you were interested enough to read this review you need to read this book." - Amazon Reviewer"Extremely interesting book. Why haven't I heard of this one before? Fascinating look into the natural history of the ante-bellum South. His observations of extinct species like the Carolina Parakeet, Ivory-billed woodpecker, & Chestnut tree are priceless." - Amazon Reviewer
