Your bibliographies are as interesting to read as your articles! It must be so much fun to continually find new sources for Bird History.

The research is the fun part, I'm learning amazing new things every day! If only writing wasn't such a drag ;)

Thank you for sharing this story. I appreciate the thorough research and time it takes to produce such an insightful and meaninfgul essay. I was particularly moved by the story of Uncle Lewis feeling the woods calling to him.

And thank you for taking the time to read it! Going through the Slave Narratives Project archives turns up a lot of really incredible stories.
