6	Author:	Bonaparte, Charles Lucian, 1803-1857	Requires cookie*
	Title:	Charles Lucien Jules Laurent Bonaparte letters, 1825-1857
	Dates:	1825-1857
	Abstract:	The Charles Lucien Bonaparte collection is noteworthy for its ornithological content and for the exchanges with William Cooper, a fellow ornithologist who had a large collection of bird specimens. The majority of the correspondence surrounds Bonaparte’s American Ornithology. The letters are all from Bonaparte to Cooper. Their content shows Cooper to be an engaged and active ornithologist who provided Bonaparte with critical advice on his proofs. Copper founded the Lyceum of Natural History in New York and studied zoology in Europe. He is credited with helping edit Bonaparte’s last two works. Bonaparte, for his part, repaid his friend by naming a new species of hawk Cooper’s Hawk. View finding aid for a full description
