L[ockwood]., 1870," it is stated that Jean Audubon died "at Rochefort on the Loire [_sic_], where he had a large estate" at the age of ninety-five, and that J. J. Audubon was born on his father's plantation at New Orleans in 1780. This memoir was issued separately as an advertising pamphlet by J. L. Sibole ("Fine Book Dealer, 109 So. 15th.
