Collection Overview
Correspondence of Charles Christopher Adams, director of the News York State Museum, concerning the writing and publication of a "A guide to the Winter Birds of the North Carolina Sandhills" (1928), by Milton Philo Skinner (born 1879). Correspondence was mainly with John Warren Achorn (1857-1926), who originated the plans for the guide, financed it, and wrote some of the chapters; Skinner, field naturalist who wrote the major portion of the volume; and Edmund J. Sawyer (born 1880), who illustrated it. Also included are field study notes and photographs of the North Carolina sandhills area.
