Excerpt from The Passenger Pigeon in Pennsylvania: Its Remarkable History, Habits and Extinction, With Interesting Side Lights on the Folk and Forest Lore of the Alleghenian Region of the Old Keystone State "Russians believe that pigeons are the sons of erring Christians." - E. J. Dillon. "Why then, Sir, I will take a little liberty to tell, or rather to remember you, what is said of Turtle Doves, first, that they silently plight their troth and marry, and that then the survivor scorns, as the Thracian women are said to do, to outlive his or her mate, and this is taken for a truth, and if the survivor should ever couple with another, then not only the living but the dead, be it either the he or the she, is denied the name and honor of a true Turtle Dove."
