Abstract

Frank B. Armstrong and his agents collected live birds, mammals and reptiles in southern Texas and adjacent Mexico from 1900 through 1907. Organizations purchasing birds from Armstrong included the National Zoological Park, New York Zoological Park, New England Forestry, Fish and Game Association of Boston and the Philadelphia Zoo. A large collection of birds for exhibit in the Smithsonian flight cage at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri, represents Armstrong’s most ambitious undertaking.
