A colleague was cleaning out her closet and gave me "Bird Guide: Land Birds
East of the Rockies", by Chester A. Reed, New Revised Edition, Copyright
1951 by Doubleday. The original copyrights were 1906 and 1909. These early
dates pre-date Peterson, and I'm wondering what the significance of Reed is
in the history of bird identification guides.

Thanks,
