DESCRIPTION:Conor Jameson will describe his mission to restore William Hen
 ry Hudson (1841–1922)\, from previously unseen letters held in America. 
 He traces the unassuming field naturalist’s path through a dramatic and 
 turbulent era: from Hudson’s journey to Britain from Argentina in 1874 t
 o the unveiling by the prime minister of a monument and bird sanctuary in 
 his honour 50 years later. The story reveals Hudson’s deep influence on
  the creation of his beloved Bird Society (RSPB) by its founding women\, a
 nd the rise of the conservation movement.\n
