Abstract:
John S. Cairns spent much of his short adult life observing and collecting wildlife in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, especially birds. Between 1887 and his accidental death in 1895, Cairns corresponded with William Brewster, a naturalist from Massachusetts. The letters between the two discuss Cairns' trips into the wilderness and the specimens he collected.
