Neltje Blanchan had a way with words.

I should credit the art for these bird videos. Illustration by Neltje Blanchard (1865-1918).

An amazing find from 'Antiques at Deerfield.'

Nature's Garden by Neltje Blanchan, 1900. Colored plates and other phone illustrations by Henry Troth and A.R. Dugmore.

This one will be gifted to a son who finds some peace and inspiration in the garden.

Circa 1907, birding was seen as an antidote to a perceived national crisis of masculinity. Teddy Roosevelt, sickly as a child, exemplified its transformative power: "Bird hunts that had kept him happily employed... all day long, helped to make him the strong manly man he is."

Storytelling is deep in our DNA, and it’s at the core of an upcoming Juneteenth event called In Our Own Words – Spoken Word & Songs at the University of Wyoming (UW) Neltje Center in Banner.
