Description

Illustrative non-fiction passage into the wilderness of the New England seaside country by the prime leader of the Connecticut Audubon Society, circa 1900.

Mabel Osgood Wright was a US writer. She authored vastly of the natural world and winged creatures.

Mabel’s first published book, aside from some poems, was the article, A New England May Day, which was observed in the New York Evening Post in 1893. This article was compiled with other opuses into her first work, The Friendship of Nature, issued by Macmillan in 1894. The next year, Mabel produced Birdcraft: A Field Book of Two Hundred Song, Game, and Water Birds. An architype of the new area reference to birds for a wider crowd, Birdcraft introduced tinted republications from John James Audubon and various illustrators to draw attractions generally seen domestically or in a residential park. A subsequent edition attributes Louis Agassiz Fuertes as an underwriter. Frank M. Chapman defined it as “one of the first and most successful bird manuals.” After a span of two years, Wright’s Citizen Bird: Scenes from Bird-life in Plain English for Beginners, a team work with Elliott Coues, was seen.

From its initiation in 1899, Mabel interposed to Frank’s Bird-Lore, co-writing its Audubon department with William Dutcher. She worked as a contributing editor up to her last days. She assisted in the preparation of the Connecticut Audubon Society, was its first leader in 1898, and served for several years. From 1905 to 1928, Mabel became a leader of the National Association of Audubon Societies, known today as the National Audubon Society. She was affiliated with the American Ornithologists’ Union in 1895, and was among the first three ladies placed forward to elective membership in 1901. Along with her were Florence Merriam Bailey and Olive Thorne Miller. Mabel founded bird protection by building Birdcraft Sanctuary in 1914, nearby her residence in Fairfield.
