John James Audubon was born in Des Cayes, Santo Domingo. John made different copies of his birth. When John was near teen years his father asked him to run part of his sugar plantation in Philadelphia. While John was in Philadelphia he married his wife Lucy. During this early marriage John was unsuccessful in business. Lucy's support wasn’t very good in achieving John Audubon’s success. John was finally successful when he moved to Europe. Audubon also succeed with his wonderful bird drawings. The serious Audubon collector should collect his literature because he has some of the best. John also published a book called The Animals of America. John drew 155 animal pictures. John was greatly aided by his doctor John Bachman. In fact Bachman drew half of the animal plates. John Audubon was the son of a French Naval commander. At the age of 18 Audubon attended military school. The military school he attended was in France. After the military school John then studied under the neoclassical painter Jacues Lous David. For the last years of his life John chased wild buffalo herds.
