John James Audubon - Henderson Kentucky State Park Video
John James Audubon State Park, is in Henderson KY. On October 3, 1934, the Commonwealth of Kentucky dedicated the John James Audubon State Park. Some of the most jubilant members of the crowd attending the dedication included members of the Henderson Ky Audubon Society. Founded in 1898 to preserve the legacy of the great American artist and naturalist, John James Audubon (1785-1851), the Society had worked for over three decades to establish a fitting memorial. In 1910, Susan Towles, the town librarian, became president of the Society. She envisioned a museum housed in the old Audubon gristmill located on the banks of the Ohio River. Unfortunately, fire destroyed the mill in 1913. After the destruction of the old mill, citizens dedicated the site as Audubon Mill Park.

JOHN JAMES MUSEUM & NATURE CENTER
John James Audubon State Park is located on U. S. Route 41 in Henderson, Kentucky, just south of the Ohio River. Its inspiration is John James Audubon, the ornithologist, naturalist and painter who resided in Henderson from 1810 to 1819 when Henderson was a frontier village.
The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1][2] Most of the park has been dedicated as a state nature preserve by the Office of Kentucky Nature Preserves, which also added a 650 acre addition in 2016 through its Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation Fund program.

Audubon Sculptures | Kentucky Life | KET
Henderson was once home to the famous naturalist and artist John James Audubon, and the city today celebrates him, and itself, through a series of sculptures throughout downtown.
In a grand homage to the renowned bird watcher, the city chose to have bronze sculptures made from Audubon's prints of birds. As of 2012, 13 sculptures of birds and one life-sized sculpture of Audubon himself can be found in downtown and at John James Audubon State Park. The public art attracts many types of people, among them bird lovers and fans of Audubon, which enhances Henderson's downtown.

Downtown — Henderson, Kentucky | Kentucky Life | KET
Henderson's downtown has a rich history—literally. The town prospered with dark tobacco in the 19th century, and many tobacco millionaires built lavish homes here. In fact, shortly before World War I, it is believed that Henderson had more millionaires than any other city of comparable size in the world.
Visitors can learn more about Henderson and its historic structures—ornate Victorian mansions as well as homes from pre-Civil War days—on a walking tour.
Downtown visitors can also take in the view of the Ohio River from the parks and trails along the riverfront. The Downtown Henderson Partnership provides maps and welcomes tourists at its Main Street location.
This Ohio River town is also home to the John James Audubon Museum, the W.C. Handy Blues and Barbecue Festival, and the Bluegrass in the Park Folklife Festival.

John James Audubon was born April 26, 1785, in Les Cayes, Santo Domingo (now Haiti), the illegitimate son of French sea captain Jean Audubon and a servant, Jeanne Rabine. In 1789, a few years after the death of his mother, he was taken to France and raised by his father and stepmother. During a happy childhood at Coueron, near Nantes, he studied geography, fencing, and mathematics, but was most enthusiastic about exploring the out-of-doors and collecting and drawing birds' nests, eggs, and other curiosities. Audubon claimed to have studied with the French neo-classical painter Jacques-Louis David, but there is no documentation to support this.
In 1803 he was sent to America to operate Mill Grove, a farm near Philadelphia that his father had purchased in 1789. Through mismanagement and neglect Audubon lost the farm, thus beginning a long series of early commercial failures for the young man, who preferred to devote his time to shooting and sketching specimens rather than to overseeing his business interests. At Mill Grove, Audubon met Lucy Bakewell, whom he married in 1808. They moved to Louisville, Kentucky, then to Henderson, Kentucky, and in later years to New Orleans. Because he was often absent on collecting excursions, his wife worked as a governess and schoolteacher to support the family. In 1819 Audubon was briefly jailed for debt. About this time he began to earn a living making likenesses in chalk, which he continued to do until 1826. He also worked as a taxidermist in Cincinnati in 1820.
Even while Audubon was producing his visual record of American birds, he was documenting their characteristics and his own experiences in the wilderness in his Ornithological Biography, published in five volumes between 1831 and 1839. By this time he had become a celebrated figure in the United States, appearing in the press, lecturing to the public, and mingling with important people such as President Andrew Jackson. He was encouraged to undertake two new publications. The first was a version of The Birds of America comprised of reduced-size illustrations, lithographs rather than engravings, printed 1839 to 1843. The second was The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America (printed 1845-1848), two volumes of handcolored lithographs based on watercolors by John James Audubon and his son John Woodhouse Audubon and accompanied by text written by their friend, the amateur naturalist, the Reverend John Bachman. Both of these efforts were very successful and allowed the artist to retire in comfort.
Audubon's last nine years were spent at Minnie's Land, thirty-five acres of property that he purchased on what is now upper Manhattan, facing the Hudson River. He died there on January 27, 1851. [This is an edited version of the artist's biography published in the NGA Systematic Catalogue]
約翰·詹姆斯·奧杜邦（John James Audubon，1785年4月26日－1851年1月27日），美國畫家、博物學家，法裔美國人，他繪製的鳥類圖鑑《美國鳥類》被稱作「美國國寶」。
奧杜邦出生於海地，是一位法國船長和他的法國情婦的私生子，幼年的奧杜邦一直隨繼母生活在法國。1803年，也即奧杜邦18歲那年，為逃避拿破侖帝國的兵役，他移民美國，來到美國的奧杜邦很快就被廣袤的北美大陸和豐富多彩的美洲鳥類所吸引，他把全部時間都投入到美國的原野，終日忙於觀察和繪製鳥類，在此期間，他的生活完全依靠妻子露西做家庭教師的收入。不過他對自然的痴迷卻嚴重地影響了他的家庭生活，令他和妻子之間產生了裂痕。在奧杜邦34歲那年，他被法院宣布破產，妻子亦離他而去，這段時期是奧杜邦一生中最為低潮的時候。
1826年，奧杜邦攜帶著他的畫稿來到英國倫敦，在這裡他聯繫出版商印製了他的第一幅鳥類繪畫〈野火雞〉。從此之後的12年中，一幅又一幅精美的鳥類圖畫從奧杜邦的筆下和印刷機下飛出，直到他的成名巨著《美國鳥類》正式出版，這時的奧杜邦和他的鳥類繪畫作品已經得到人們廣泛的認同。
1840年，55歲的奧杜邦再次拿起畫筆走進自然，開始繪製《美洲的四足動物》（Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America），1848年，這部巨著繪製完成。三年後的1851年，奧杜邦逝世了。

New Madrid 1811-12 Earthquakes, Steamboat & Comet
True Story of the New Madrid Earthquakes of 1811-1812, the Steamboat, and Tecumseh's Comet. The forgotten earthquakes of America, and a warning of earthquakes to come...
In 1810 Fulton commissions the first steamboat to be built at Pittsburgh to sail the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. The steamboat, New Orleans, was nearing completion on October 6th when a bright comet appeared in the early morning sky in the fall of 1811.
On October 20th the New Orleans began its maiden voyage with Captain Nicholas Roosevelt, his wife pregnant Lidia, their daughter, dog, and servants and crew of twelve.
The next day they stopped at Wheeling West Virginia. The captain charged the townsfolk 25 cents to come aboard the steamboat for a tour.
About October 27th, the New Orleans arrived near Cincinnati Ohio. People were curious but when when it departed, the Cincinnatians thought the river current would prevent the steamboat from ever coming back.
Soon the steamboat arrived at Louisville Kentucky for provisions and coal. There on October 30th Lidia gave birth to a boy.
Because the water level was too low to pass over the rapids of the Ohio River Falls, the captain took the New Orleans back upstream to surprise the people of Cincinnati. For the next month, people were charged a dollar for rides up and down the river.
In early December 1811, after the Ohio river level rose they chanced transversing the Falls, new baby and all, and continued on toward the Mississippi River.
On December 15th the New Orleans stopped at a coal outcropping near Owensboro Kentucky. Very early the next morning, they heard terrible sounds and a felt shaking aboard the steamboat. It was the first great earthquake of the New Madrid Fault.
That morning they continued on to Henderson Kentucky, where no chimneys were left standing. They visited their friends, the painter John James Audubon and his wife Lucy.
The river journey resumed, but during multiple tremors shaking the land, the hazards of falling trees, collapsing river banks, and disappearing islands. At times the river would actually flow backwards.
Sometimes the ship pilot was confused because the river landscape had been so changed. The sky was filled with a haze and the land looked like ocean waves.
They reached the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers called the Point. The few buildings there were in ruins.
At various times they would see Indians along the riverbanks and in canoes. The Indians thought this fire canoe with the churning paddle caused the earthquakes and the belching smoke put debris into the water and sky.
Sometimes, Indian canoes raced the steamboat, but our power prevailed. The Indians were influenced also by the sign of Tecumseh's Comet, but now fading. His name, Tecumseh, means shooting star.
On December 19th, they approached New Madrid Missouri on the Mississippi River. The town was destroyed, but they didn't stop because of fear the steamboat would be overwhelmed by the fleeing people.
They saw many wrecked and abandoned boats and realized it was an undoubted miracle of God that the steamboat had survived and kept going.
Once they tied up at an island for the night only to find that most of the island had disappeared into the river the next morning.
On December 22nd at the mouth of the Saint Francis River, the British naturalist John Bradbury told them it was utter destruction inland.
Their harrowing journey was nearing its end when they arrived at Natchez Mississippi on December 30th, and learned that it had only been shaken with tremors. And on December 31st, the steamboat's engineer was married to Lidia's maid there.
On January 10, 1812 they finally arrived safely in the steamboat's namesake, New Orleans, after a 1900 miles journey.
But, that was not the end of the destruction, for there was another large earthquake on January 23, 1812 and the largest still on February 7th, which was felt as far away as Maine, and with hundreds of tremors in between.
On October 31, 1895 there was another large earthquake centered at Charleston Missouri which caused widespread destruction throughout the Mississippi valley.
In recent days, many small tremors are shaking the areas around the New Madrid Fault. This begs the question: What does the future hold for this region?
In 1973, David Wilkerson had a vision of tremendous earthquakes striking the United States. He wrote two books documenting what he saw: The Vision, 1973, and Racing Toward Judgment, 1976. You would do well to lookup these books and consider what he had to say!
Nevertheless, we must take the Lord's promise, with a warning, to heart: If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land - 2 Chronicles 7:14.

The Passenger Pigeon Chapter 3: From American Ornithological Biography by John James Audubon
Three hundred to four hundred miles in six hours (fifty to sixty five miles per hour)
Henderson, Kentucky
Louisville, Kentucky
Hardensburgh, Kentucky -
History of the City of West Point (by the Ohio and Salt River)
Let us take a column of one mile in breadth, which is far below the average size, and suppose it passing over us without interruption for three hours, at the rate mentioned above of one mile in a minute. This will give a parallelogram of one hundred and eighty by one, covering one hundred and eighty square miles. Allowing two pigeons to square yard, we have one billion, one hundred and fifty millions, one hundred and thirty-six thousand pigeons in one flock.
As every pigeon daily consumes fully half a pint of food, the quantity necessary for supplying this vast multitude must be eight millions, seven hundred and twelve thousand bushels per day.
Green River, Kentucky
Another quote
Persons unacquainted with these birds might naturally conclude that such dreadful havoc would soon put an end to the species (pages 35 to 37). But I (John Audubon) have satisfied myself, by long observation, that nothing but the gradual diminution of our forests can accomplish their decrease, as they not infrequently quadruple their numbers yearly, and always at least double it.
In 1805 I (John Audubon) saw schooners loaded in bulk with pigeons caught up the Hudson River, coming into the wharf at New York, when the birds sold for a cent apiece. John Audubon knew a man in Pennsylvania, who caught and killed upward of five hundred dozens in a clap net in one day, sweeping sometimes twenty dozens or more at a single haul. In the month of March, 1830, they were so abundant in the markets of New York, that piles of them met the eye in every direction. I have seen the negroes at the United States' Salines or Saltworks of Shawnee Town, wearied with killing pigeons, as they alighted to drink the water issuing from the leading pipes, for weeks at a time; and yet in 1826, in Louisiana, I saw congregated flocks of these birds as numerous as ever I had seen them before, during a residence of nearly thirty years in the United States.
The breeding of wild pigeons, and the places chosen for that purpose, are points of great interest.
The time is not much influenced by season, and the place selected is where food is most plentiful and most attainable, and always at a convenient distance from water.
The passenger pigeon's seasonal call is a soft coo-coo-coo-coo which is much shorter than the domestic species. The more common call is a kee-kee-kee-kee, the first being the loudest, the others gradually diminishing in power.
Like the domestic pigeon and other species they caress each other by billing, in which action, the bill of the one is introduced transversely into that of the other, and both parties alternately disgorge the contents of their crops by repeated efforts.
These preliminary affairs are soon settled, and the pigeons commence their nests in general peace and harmony.
On the same tree from fifty to a hundred nests may frequently be seen: I might say a much greater number, were I not anxious, kind reader, that however wonderful my account of the wild pigeons is, you may not feel disposed to refer it to the marvelous.
During incubation the male supplies the female with food. The tenderness and affection displayed by these birds toward their mates, are in the highest degree striking.
That's enough of his direct words, I think you get the point here...
