William Henry Hudson
William Henry Hudson (4 August 1841 – 18 August 1922), known in
Argentina as
Guillermo Enrique Hudson, was an
Anglo-Argentine author,
naturalist and
ornithologist. Born in the Argentine pampas where he roamed free in his youth, he observed bird life and collected specimens for the Smithsonian Institution. The Patagonian birds ''
Knipolegus hudsoni'' and ''
Asthenes hudsoni'' are named after him. He would later write about life in Patagonia that drew special admiration for his style. His most popular work ''
Green Mansions'' (1904), a romance set in the Venezuelan forest inspired a
Hollywood movie and several other works.
