Quotes by James H. McCommons (?)

“A startling power like that of a great wind, the rumble of a tsunami, or the tremor of an earthquake emanated from their passing. Pigeons streaming over Columbus, Ohio, in 1855 spooked horses, impelled children to run for home, and caused the pious to drop to their knees in prayer.”
― James H. McCommons, The Feather Wars: And the Great Crusade to Save America's Birds
