Audubon's home was on the Perkiomen, ncar Betzwood, and is now ownedby the \Vetherill family. Here thegreat naturalist made his f ir st experiments in bird-banding as part of hiswork. He was a cosmopolitan, however, and a wor ld-t raveler. Manyparts of the United States claim hin1as a re sid en t.

The difficulties a nd l ab or s of writing' a hiography were hrought out bythe speaker II I an int eres ti ng and attimes amusing fashion. The urge towri te thi s book, he said, came from as igh t of Audubon's collection of giantpaintings II I the Academy of Natura lSciences, Philadelphia. Delving intobiographies r evea led a lack of manydetails, and Mr. Muschamp decidedto write a book of his own.An out line was prepared and a publishing contract secured. Then followed hours of delv ing in to l ibraries .newspaper files, etc., for informationinterviews with historians and naturali st s, reading ' of Audubon's own work.
