Named for the naturalist and Harvard University professor, Louis Agassiz, Louis Agassiz Fuertes had an interest in nature from childhood when he was inspired by John James Audubon's book, "Birds of America." Reportedly he had an amazing ability to remember what he observed, and then transfer that information to paper.
He was born in Ithaca, New York, and received his education in the College of Architecture at Cornell University. However, he avoided parental pressure to become an engineer (showing 500 of 1528 characters). |
