He read it very well. He had not gone to college but he was very interested in birds and he was interested in doing field work that he did some expedition work as a young man. He actually is the one, I still believe this, that put the first bird list for Yellowstone National Park together. He spent, I don’t know how long riding horse and camping in Yellowstone and doing the survey of the birds of Yellowstone. He participated in some field work and expeditions in Borneo. And he was a field collector. He’d done a lot of that. And as a result, he was hired by the Peabody Museum, which is Yale’s comparative Museum of Zoology, maybe it’s Harvard.
