"A compelling chronicle of avarice, betrayal, and redemption."

--TIM GALLAGHER

The Plume Hunter follows the life of Fin McFaddin, a late-nineteenth century Oregon outdoorsman who takes to plume hunting--killing birds to collect feathers for women's hats--to support his widowed mother. In 1885, more than five million birds were killed in the United States for the millinery industry, prompting the formation of the Audubon Society.
