  Audubon, John J., naturalist, 1780-1851; visited the Dakota region in summer
of 1843, entering South Dakota on the Missouri River, May 13 and passing out up
stream on June 5th. He was accompanied by Edward Harris, John G. Bell. Isaac
Sprague and Lewis Squires, all trained ornithologists or naturalists. They were
thus in South Dakota 22 days in the flush of spring-time. Returning, the entire
month of September was spent in South Dakota. Hence they had an excellent
opportunity to observe all of the spring and autumn birds of that period. A list
of those found is interesting as a basis of comparison with the present bird
population.
