This special re-print edition of W.B. Mershon's book The Passenger Pigeon provides information on the rise, fall and eventual extinction of the legendary Passenger Pigeon. Written in 1907, only a few years before the last living Passenger Pigeon perished from this earth, in the decades previously, these birds could once be counted in the billions on the North American continent. Mr. Mershon, who had a lifelong fascination with these birds, starts with some of the earliest written accounts of them when they appeared in flocks so large that they could block out the sun and travels forward in time until the birds had completely vanished from the wild and had been reduced to a few specimens living in zoos. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
