    Extractions: Download this book Nature chose the spring of the year for the time of John Burroughs's birth. A little before the day when the wake-robin shows itself, that the observer might be on hand for the sight, he was born in Roxbury, Delaware County, New York, on the western borders of the Catskill Mountains; the precise date was April 3, 1837. Until 1863 he remained in the country about his native place, working on his father's farm, getting his schooling in the district school and neighboring academies, and taking his turn also as teacher. As he himself has hinted, the originality, freshness, and wholesomeness of his writings are probably due in great measure to the unliterary surroundings of his early life, which allowed his mind to form itself on unconventional lines, and to the later companionships with unlettered men, which kept him in touch with the sturdy simplicities of life...

Burroughs was a treasury clerk when he published his first book Notes on Walt Whitman as Poet and Person (1867). He followed up with Wake-Robin (1871), and Locusts and Wild Honey (1879).

    Extractions: By Edward J. Renehan Jr. Old Evans Mill near Leadmine, West Virginia My daughter Katherine is the only 11-year-old in the country who recognizes on-sight the ancient American naturalist John Burroughs (1837-1921). And she has lately been making a great many sightings. "Daddy, there he is again!" she shouts. Upon this cue I look up from my newspaper, turn to the television, and confront Burroughs's white-bearded grin as he sits at a picnic table with Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone and Thomas Edison. The newsreel footage, which dates from 1917, has been cleaned up using digital technology. It looks quite crisp. I wrote John Burroughs's biography in 1992. This explains Katherine's abnormally high awareness of the long-forgotten JB. Although quite obscure today, Burroughs achieved great celebrity in his own time. He wrote more than 25 books. He boasted close personal friendships with such giants as Walt Whitman, Theodore Roosevelt and John Muir. He received honorary doctorates from Yale and other major universities. He participated in the Harriman Expedition to Alaska. After he died, dozens of towns around the country named schools in his memory. The American Museum of Natural History even put some of his personal effects on permanent display. Now he's been resurrected ... somewhat. The occasion is a new, history-oriented ad campaign from the Ford Motor Company: a series of television spots narrated by current company-head Bill Ford. In one of the spots titled "Discover," Ford discourses on the bit of corporate history that involves Burroughs: "My two great-grandfathers, Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone, used to take these camping trips every year with Thomas Edison and whoever the president at the time was. They called themselves 'the Vagabonds.' They sort of invented SUVs." Ford goes on to say that he loves the outdoors himself and uses an SUV to get there. "SUVs are what people want, and we do them better than anybody else."

Print or Buy my poetry? View comments Add to favorites? John Burroughs was born on April 3, 1837 on his family's farm in Roxbury. He spent his youth working on the farm and exploring Old Clump Mountain. His favorite place he called Boyhood Rock, where he would sit and study the ways of Nature around him. He was a teacher, a journalist, a treasury clerk in Washington, DC (where he met and befriended Walt Whitman), and a bank examiner before returning to his beloved Catskills. In 1871, his first book Wake Robin was published. In 1874 he bought a small farm in Esopus, and devoted himself completely to his writing. Later, he would divide his time between "Slabsides", his summer retreat at West Park, near Esopus, and "Woodchuck Lodge" in Roxbury. His essays ranged from studies of birds and nature to religion and literature. Burroughs was a staunch defender of Whitman and Thoreau, then unpopular beacause of their perceived literary excesses. But the writing he is best known for are his gentle observations of nature. Alf Evers in The Catskill: From Wilderness to Woodstock noted that the first verse of the poem Waiting expresses this "serene acceptance of life" by Burroughs:

More John Burroughs quotes John Burroughs, 1837-1921 John Burroughs was born April 3, 1837 in the Catskill Mountains on a farm near the village of Roxbury. He is a major figure in American literature. Over a million and a half copies of his books were sold. He was held in such esteem that 11 schools in the United States are named after him. He taught briefly in Ulster County (NY) and after his marriage moved to Washington, where he worked in the Treasury Department during the Civil War. At that time he began a life-long friendship with Walt Whitman. Many of Burroughs' essays first appeared in popular magazines. In 1873, Burroughs returned to New York and built a stone house, "Riverby," on the west bank of the Hudson in West Park. Years later, seeking more contact with nature than his riverside home provided, he bought land a mile and a half mile away, where, in the fall of 1894, work began on his Adirondack-style cabin, "Slabsides." It was there, with his literary reputation firmly established, that many famous men (and women) of the time visited him, including Theodore Roosevelt, John Muir, Henry Ford, and Edison.

Characterized as a nature lover, friends of birds and squirrels, scientist and poet in his descriptions of animal and plant life, Burroughs stated that his two greatest sources of inspiration were Emerson, in his youth, and Bergson, in later life. In 1882 he wrote, "With Emerson dead it seems folly to be alive." When Bergson lectured at Columbia University, Burroughs assiduously attended lecture (although he did not understand French), and hailed the French philosopher as "the prophet of the soul" who had opened new vistas to him.
