Author Michael Edmonds will discuss his new book, Taking Flight: A History of
Birds and People in the Heart of America.
Edmonds, Director of Programs and Outreach at the Wisconsin Historical Society
and a long-time birder, will explain how and why people in the nation’s
heartland worshipped, feared, studied, hunted, ate, and protected the birds
that surrounded them over the last 12,000 years. From ancient American Indian
shamans to modern conservationists, our predecessors thought about and acted
toward birds differently than we do. Edmonds will share stories from his 30
years of research among unpublished manuscripts, rare books, archaeological
reports, and historic places that led to Taking Flight. Whether you’re a casual
bird-watcher, a hard-core life-lister, or simply someone who loves the
outdoors, you'll encounter new ways of thinking about birds, people, and the
extraordinary history that connects them.
