Townsend's Warbler

As new hardcover in dust jacket. When naturalist John Townsend set out on a cross-continental exploration in 1834, he encountered more than he expected - starvation, sand storms, Indian war parties - and an undescribed black-and-yellow-striped warbler. Newbery Award winner Paul Fleischman's captivating chronicle details the converging journeys of both Townsend and the bird that bears his name. B&W illustrations, excerpts taken from Townsend's original journal.
