Privately printed broadside by Theodore Roosevelt and Harvard classmate Henry Davis Minot cataloging birds in the Adirondacks of Franklin County. At the time of publication, Roosevelt and Minot were freshmen at Harvard College. The survey was "written in the mountains," especially in the St. Regis Lakes area, based on observations from August 1874, August 1875, June 22, 1877, and July 9, 1877. The document identifies 97 species of which 15 were observed by Roosevelt alone. It details birds by common name, Latin name, and frequency seen.
