On May 27th, 1784, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart met a flirtatious little starling who sang (an improved version of!) the theme from his Piano Concerto Number 17 in G to him. Knowing a kindred spirit when he met one, Mozart wrote "That was wonderful" in his journal and took the bird home to be his pet. For three years Mozart and his family enjoyed the uniquely delightful company of the starling until one April morning when the bird passed away. In 2013, Lyanda Lynn Haupt, author of Crow Planet, rescued her own starling, Carmen, who has become a part of her family. In Mozart's Starling, Haupt explores the unlikely bond between one of history's most controversial characters and one of history's most notoriously disliked birds. Part natural history, part story, Mozart's Starling will delight readers as they learn about language, music, and the secret world of starlings.

This feeling led to the publication of the present volume. The main portion of it, which is General Haupt's, was committed to writing by him in 1889. He had no intention of publishing the collection - merely desired to get into record f...
Johannes Haupt was born in Germany in 1712. He probably made several trips to America before settling with his sons in Pennsylvania about 1755. Some of his descendants gradually moved to other areas while many still reside in Pennsylvania. Information on many of these descendants is given in this volume. Today descendants also live in North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, and elsewhere.
