Note 1 — Chapter IX · THE TURKEY
Florence Constable Bicknell translation
“The turkey lived, and still lives to-day, in a wild state, in the forests of the United States of North America. Its habits are described by a celebrated naturalist, Audubon,1 who, with his gun on his shoulder, his notebook, pencil, and brushes in his game-bag, traversed the most secluded solitudes in order to observe, paint, and describe birds.
