In 1849, Audubon embarked on an adventurous expedition with Col. Henry Webbs California Company, setting sail from New Orleans to the Rio Grande before traversing the rugged landscapes of northern Mexico and Arizona to reach San Diego, California. Battling cholera, outlaws, and the harsh realities of the wilderness, many in the group turned back, including their leader. Audubon, undeterred, took command of the remaining members, pressing on despite having to abandon his art supplies in the desert. Throughout this arduous journey, he meticulously documented the scenes and experiences around him, showcasing his keen eye as a naturalist and artist. His notes reveal a vivid tapestry of social conditions in Mexico, the beauty of birds and trees, the majesty of skies and mountains, and the starkness of the desert. They capture the chaos of the gold fields, the remnants of Californias missions, and the diverse cultures encountered along the way. Though these entries were written sporadically due to the circumstances, their accuracy and insight are remarkable. This recording, reflecting his unedited work, concludes abruptly, leaving listeners yearning for more. – Summary by Book Introduction and David Wales<br /><br />This show includes AI-generated content.]]></description><atom:link href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/6867950/episodes/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><language>en</language><category>History</category><copyright>Copyright Nature and Animals</copyright><image><url>https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a14a8362a6918de38300aa0ed3bbea64.jpg</url><title>Wavy Tailed Warrior</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wavy-tailed-warrior--6867950</link></image><lastBuildDate>Mon, 12 Oct 2026 09:26:32 +0000</lastBuildDate><itunes:author>John Woodhouse Audubon</itunes:author><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Nature and Animals</itunes:name><itunes:email>spreaker21@adfreesounds.com</itunes:email></itunes:owner><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a14a8362a6918de38300aa0ed3bbea64.jpg"/><itunes:subtitle>Join us as we delve into the incredible journey of John Woodhouse Audubon (1812-1862), the son of the renowned painter John James Audubon and a talented artist in his own right.

In 1849, Audubon embarked on an adventurous expedition with Col. Henry Webbs California Company, setting sail from New Orleans to the Rio Grande before traversing the rugged landscapes of northern Mexico and Arizona to reach San Diego, California. Battling cholera, outlaws, and the harsh realities of the wilderness, many in the group turned back, including their leader. Audubon, undeterred, took command of the remaining members, pressing on despite having to abandon his art supplies in the desert. Throughout this arduous journey, he meticulously documented the scenes and experiences around him, showcasing his keen eye as a naturalist and artist. His notes reveal a vivid tapestry of social conditions in Mexico, the beauty of birds and trees, the majesty of skies and mountains, and the starkness of the desert. They capture the chaos of the gold fields, the remnants of Californias missions, and the diverse cultures encountered along the way. Though these entries were written sporadically due to the circumstances, their accuracy and insight are remarkable. This recording, reflecting his unedited work, concludes abruptly, leaving listeners yearning for more. – Summary by Book Introduction and David Wales<br /><br />This episode includes AI-generated content.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/69764859</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Feb 2026 17:41:53 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/69764859/audubonsjournal_10_audubon_64kb.mp3" length="13351292" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/d7266569-7d82-42f0-a025-1fd5da96419a/d7266569-7d82-42f0-a025-1fd5da96419a.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/d7266569-7d82-42f0-a025-1fd5da96419a/d7266569-7d82-42f0-a025-1fd5da96419a.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/d7266569-7d82-42f0-a025-1fd5da96419a/d7266569-7d82-42f0-a025-1fd5da96419a.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><podcast:txt purpose="ai-content">true</podcast:txt><itunes:author>John Woodhouse Audubon</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Join us as we delve into the incredible journey of John Woodhouse Audubon (1812-1862), the son of the renowned painter John James Audubon and a talented artist in his own right.
