Book excerpt: Excerpt from Avifauna Columbiana: Being a List of Birds Ascertained to Inhabit the District of Columbia, With the Times of Arrival and Departure of Such as Are Non-Residents, and Brief Notices of Habits, Etc This was chie y during the years 1858 - 1862, both inclusive. Soon after the outbreak of the War of the Rebellion, both authors, having meanwhile graduated in medicine, entered the Army as medical officers. One of them soon afterward settled in the practice of his profession in Washington; the other led for many years the vagabond life of an Army surgeon; and the exigencies of their respective avocations long pre vented each from paying any further attention to the subject which had brightened their college days and cemented a life-long friendship.
