The late Charlotte Hilton Green was an early and influential champion of the Tar Heel states natural environment, and her popular weekly column, Out-of-Doors in Carolina, appeared in the Raleigh News and Observer for forty-two years (1932-74). A classic in the field of popular nature writing, Birds of the South was originally published by UNC Press in 1933, preceding by a year Roger Tory Petersons landmark volume, A Field Guide to the Birds. In this engaging collection of her early newspaper columns, Green details more than sixty varieties of birds common to southern gardens, fields, and woods. Quotations, poems, and anecdotes complement the descriptions of each species and help to make the book accessible even to novice nature lovers. In a new introduction and appendix, Eloise Potter highlights Greens enduring contribution to nature study and brings the books scientific information up to date.
