I struggled through to p. 50. Painfully boring. I should have known better, after reading the same author's bio of Davy Crockett. What is even more ridiculous is the author's infatuation with Audubon's handsomeness, with his 'look of race' -- going so far as to hint that he's the Dauphin, who went into hiding during the French Revolution. Well, according to more recent sources, he's not a blue-blood, but a mulatto, Captain Audubon's bastard from Haiti. As if any of this matters, except as an indication of the overall accuracy, perhaps. By the time I abandoned the book he's already grown and married. So, the rest of the book is going to be even more boring? Not for me; I'm moving on. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
