family's farm in Roxbury, New York on April 3, 1837, Burroughs, who died on a

John Burroughs (1837-1921) was a prolific nature writer, penning over 243
essays on his association with birds, resulting in his nickname, "John o'
Birds". A friend of Walt Whitman, Burroughs also wrote Notes on
Walt Whitman as Poet and Person (1867), the first Whitman biography.
In all, he penned 441 essays that were collected in 23 volumes. These

Ways of Nature (1905) and Camping and Tramping with Roosevelt
(1907). Lightly creased. Folds do not touch signature. Slightly jagged at left
edge. Overall, fine condition.
