Alexander Milton Ross, Canadian physician, abolitionist, author, naturalist, and reformer, was born on December 23, 1832, in Belleville, Upper Canada (Ontario). A considerable part of his life was spent in the United States, and he died in Detroit, Michigan, on October 27, 1897, at the age of 65 years. Ross basically was an idealist, who with intense energy and dedication promoted causes in which he aligned himself. He graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City in 1855. Ross spent the next ten years promoting the abolition movement in the northern and southern states of the United States and in Canada, a devotion that he pursued until the Civil War. Ross traveled widely and reportedly befriended William Cullen Bryant, Abraham Lincoln, John Brown, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadswoth Longfellow, and John Greenleaf Whittier. He served, apparently unofficially, as President Lincoln�������s informant on abolition activities in Canada during 1864. On his return to Canada in 1865, Ross became an avid collector of natural history specimens.The Butterflies and Moths of Canada������� (1873) followed The Birds of Canada������� (1871), but neither of his planned books on the ferns nor wild flowers were released despite being advertised as �������in press�������. Ross was elected a Fellow of the Linnaean Society of London and of the British Association for the Advancement of Science.--Henry M.

With Descriptions Of Their Plumage, Habits, Food, Song, Nests, Eggs, Times of Arrival and Departure. This is among the earliest major Canadian works about birds. It is the first comprehensive account of Canadian birds written by a Canadian and published in Canada. In his Preface, Ross states: "My object in presenting this volume to the public is in some measure to supply a want long felt by those interested in the study of Canadian Ornithology."His work went through two editions with the first appearing in 1871 and the second, in 1872, updated to include 79 species found in Manitoba and British Columbia, newly admitted to the Dominion of Canada. The second edition is divided into an Introduction, six chapters which describe 296 bird species divided into six avian Orders, and another that adds 79 extra western species found in Manitoba and British Columbia. Finally, there are two six-page lists, one of scientific names and one of common or vernacular bird's names. Ross was elected a Fellow of the Linnaean Society of London and of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. In 1875 Ross resumed practicing medicine in Ontario, eschewing the use of drugs, alcohol, and even vaccination in his practice, and for seven years he crusaded for physical and moral reform.--C. Stuart Houston.
