In 1953, birding guru Roger Tory Peterson and noted British naturalist James Fisher took a 100-day trek covering 30,000 miles around North America, and published their classic account of the trip, 'Wild America, 'two years later. Fifty years later, acclaimed natural history writer Scott Weidensaul retraced their steps to tell the story of wild America today in a sweeping survey of the natural soul of North America today.
