''Our Friend John Burroughs'' is a biographical book written by Clara Barrus about the life and work of John Burroughs, an American naturalist and writer. The book provides a detailed account of Burroughs’ personal life, including his childhood, family, and friends, as well as his professional career as a writer and naturalist. It also covers his travels, his relationships with other prominent writers and thinkers of his time, and his contributions to the field of nature writing. Through Barrus’ vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes, readers gain insight into Burroughs’ unique perspective on nature and his enduring legacy as a writer and environmentalist. Overall, ''Our Friend John Burroughs'' is a captivating and informative read for anyone interested in the life and work of one of America’s most influential naturalists.We are coming more and more to like the savor of the wild and the unconventional. Perhaps it is just this savor or suggestion of free fields and woods, both in his life and in his books, that causes so many persons to seek out John Burroughs in his retreat among the trees and rocks on the hills that skirt the western bank of the Hudson. To Mr. Burroughs more perhaps than to any other living American might be applied these words in Genesis: ''See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed''--so redolent of the soil and of the hardiness and plenitude of rural things is the influence that emanates from him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
