Wild America; the record of a 30,000 mile journey around the continent by a distinguished naturalist and his British colleague

by Roger Tory Peterson, James Fisher

About this title: On an April day in 1953, renowned American ornithologist, author, and illustrator Roger Tory Peterson met his British friend James Fisher, an authority on seabirds, in Newfoundland. There they began a strenuous and thrilling hundred-day field trip around the edge of the continent. Part travelogue, part epic natural adventure, their richly illustrated record is "the superlatively good product of ideal circumstances" (Chicago Sunday Tribune).

Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is further described below.
