Audubon is said to have been born in New Orleans, May 4, 

 1780, and "in 1810 he embarked in a skiff with his wife and 

 young child for his only companions, and with his gun and 

 pencil for baggage, and commenced an adventurous and wander- 

 ing life — the life of a hunter and naturalist, which he did not 

 abandon until 1834."
