His young John James Audubon, was born in New Orleans in 1780. When John was a mere baby, his family moved back to France, boy was destined for the army. Indeea, he was hardly in his tedue, when France found itself at war with most of the civilized world, Thete was splendid opportunity for a young soldier. But, to his father's disgust, John declared he had no wish to fight. |The life of a warrior did not interest him at all, His father had been too busy to be a comrade to the boy or to study his tastes. So he now asked John what he proposed to make of himsolt, if did not want to be a soldier. John answered that he preferred to Hey his back in the woods or fie , all day, watching the birds and learnl their mode of life.

And in these years he built the foundations for his immortal fame as @ naturalist. ‘There were few retlable books on the subject of ornithology, and John was almost wholly self-taught, This had the advantage of making him start from the bottom and prove every fact for himself, without taking any one's word for it. It leo taught him to experiment along a thousand new Hines, ) in bird-life, and to make discoveries that had eluded other and older naturalists, Thus did the boy whom his father deemed a fallure ctart his career of lasting greatness. A glimpse of his character, at this time, is given in his own words: “I ate no meat, but lived on fish, vegetables and fruits, T had never tasted wine or spirits, To all this I attribute my constant health, enduse ance and iron constitution.” Here, at Mill Grove, too, the lad began ate Freatest book, “Birds of America;" which 1s still a classic and standard } authority all over the world.
