John Kirk Townsend was an ornithologist from Philadelphia who crossed the Rocky Mountains in 1834 and visited Hawaii twice, returning with a great haul of bird and mammal specimens used by John James Audubon for his 'Birds of America' and 'Viviparous Quadrupeds'. The authors examine his life and track his journey.
