| Abstract | Henry Nehrling was born of German-American parentage in the town of Herman, near Howard's Grove, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. In 1883 he was among the twenty-one ornithologists who organized the American Ornithologist's Union. "His studies of our native birds culminated with the appearance, in 1889," of a work published both in German and English: Die Nordamerikanische Voegelwelt (Our Native Birds of Song and Beauty). Nehrling intended the book to "fill the gap between the very expensive and the merely technical ornithological book" and "to combine accuracy and reliability of biography with a minimum of technical description." He was also an accomplished horticulturalist. |
