“This Strange Wilderness is like walking through a secret door into early nineteenth-century America. Nancy Plain’s stellar prose and meticulous research, combined with the glorious paintings of John James Audubon, will delight readers of all ages.”

—Candace Simar, author of the Spur Award–winning Abercrombie Trail series

“Nancy Plain captures the essence of Audubon in words as beautiful and informative as his paintings.”

—Rod Miller, author of John Muir: Magnificent Tramp
