This book presents a thorough examination of the ornithological collections gathered during several expeditions conducted by the United States government in the western territories between 1871 and 1874. Led by Lieutenant George M. Wheeler, these expeditions aimed to explore and map the uncharted regions of the American West, with a specific focus on gathering zoological specimens. The book's detailed species accounts, distribution maps, and extensive measurements provide valuable insights into the diversity and distribution of bird species in the surveyed areas. The author, H. W. Henshaw, combines his own observations with those of other expedition members to offer a comprehensive overview of the region's birdlife, contributing significantly to our understanding of North American ornithology.
