About this listen
William Henry Hudson (1841-1922) was an author, naturalist, and ornithologist. Born in Argentina, he spent his youth studying the local fauna and flora and observing the natural and human dramas on what was then a lawless frontier.
Far Away and Long Ago is a record of the years 1840-50 on the Pampas. The environment was ideal for exploring on foot and horseback. The abundant wildlife was easily observed, and the author became a naturalist with a great talent for description. Hudson observed the birds, beasts, and plants - the cowbird; the red willow, the armadillo, and the opossum - where adventurous Gauchos herded cattle. He also lamented the spread of agriculture that was to doom the wetlands and their wildlife.
