This antique book contains a comprehensive catalogue of birds found in the eastern half of the United States. Included in this book is information primarily on the birds that are of particular interest to gunners, with details on their appearance, habitat, and names. A great book for discerning ornithologists with an interest in American birds, this text is also a great addition to any collection of ornithological literature.

This book was originally published in 1888, and we are proud to republish it here complete with a new introduction to ornithology.
