Charles Cory wrote many books, including The Birds of Haiti and San Domingo (1885), The Birds of the West Indies (1889) and The Birds of Illinois and Wisconsin (1909). His last major work was the four-part Catalogue of the Birds of the Americas, which was completed after his death by Carl Edward Hellmayr. WEIRD ARIZONA! Aztec mummies! Traitorous Mexicans! Gila monsters! Jou Jou narcotics from African witch doctors! Goodness! This book is very, very strange. But the author of Montezuma's Castle and Other Weird Tales may be the weirdest thing about it: Charles Barney Cory (1857-1921) was an American ornithologist and golfer. Not what one would expect from an author of weird fiction. But it wouldn't be weird if he wasn't weird, we guess. . . .
