notes:
The wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) was an important food source for native Americans. Text notes that the habitat of the bird is being diminished by settlements. Bonaparte thanks John J. Audubon for the detailed information on the turkey's habits, and, indeed, more information about the turkey is provided than on any other bird in this volume.Charles Lucian Bonaparte was the son of Lucien Bonaparte and nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte. He visited America between 1822 and 1828, setting out to update Alexander Wilson's American Ornithology. The preface states that the drawings were done by Titian Peale from the life; the copper plates were engraved by Lawson (who had done the engravings for Wilson's American Ornithology); the coloring was done by A. Rider. The style of the illustrations and page design imitates Wilson's book. Peale was himself a naturalist and collected many of the specimens.The work appeared between 1825 and 1828 in four volumes. The publication information for volume one differs from the others.
