Our Southern Birds and the Fountain Square Conversations by Emma Bell Miles.
Emma Bell Miles was a naturalist, an artist, and an author who lived most of her life in the southern Appalachian mountains.
While Emma’s life was one of poverty and hard work, her determination, her faith and her extraordinary intellect allowed her to contend with— if not fully overcome— her adversity.
She used her experience and talent to produce sketches, watercolors, short stories, poems, books— becoming nationally known— and she was beloved throughout and long after her lifetime.
“This book [Our Southern Birds] is written in a most beautiful style and is illustrated by the author’s own drawings, which are absolutely true to life. Mrs. Miles has spent all of her years in touch with Nature in all its beautiful life. Her soul has been so closely in touch and sympathy with that of birds, animals and flowers that she seems to know and speak their language. Her stories of all the birds, resident and migratory, common to this section, are informational and most interestingly told…”
