John Burroughs: Naturalist
"Kelley has drawn heavily from letters, John Burroughs's journal and his son's diary and memoirs to paint three-dimensional portraits of both men. Her story gives a picture of John Burroughs as a son, husband, and father; depicts his early financial struggles; traces the growth of his renown; and colorfully re-creates the life of the community surrounding Riverby, his fruit farm adjoining New York's storied Hudson River. Through the pages also pass such friends and acquaintances of John Burroughs as Walt Whitman, Oscar Wilde, Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Ford, and John Muir. A family chronicle as well as a biography, John Burroughs: naturalist is the most intimate book about one of our nation's great men"--from synopis affixed to final page.
