The Hilltop Writers A Victorian Colony among the Surrey Hills Literary Heritage around Haslemere by W.R. (Bob) Trotter New illustrated edition published in 2003 Index to the 65 names featured in the book Charles Darwin’s cousin dies in Grayshott Bertrand Russell falls in love in Fernhurst Disgraced London society hostess starts a home for deprived children in Hindhead Astronomical observatory built underneath the Devil’s Jumps near Churt Review Mr Trotter discovered in the archives of Haslemere Museum a remarkable collection of notes and newspaper cuttings left by local journalist William Sillick, who died in 1955. It made him realise what an astounding flurry of important literary activity there had been in the neighbourhood of Haslemere during the fifty years or more following the arrival of the railway in 1859, and from this the book was conceived. The book is organised into four main sections: a brief local chronology from 1859 through to the start of the First World War; a short discussion of the politics and other issues in vogue during the period; biographical notes on each of the writers; and an appendix of references and other more general notes, including a superb 20-page index. It is a pleasure to read. Bob Trotter has not only encapsulated the essentials of these people’s lives in his pages, but also given us the benefit of his medical training to add his own fascinating personal comments. And in these days of generally slap-dash editing, it is nice for once to find a book where so much care and attention has obviously been taken in checking presentation and content before publication.

To treat your facts with imagination is one thing, to imagine your facts is another. The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are. A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else. For anything worth having one must pay the price; and the price is always work, patience, love, self-sacrifice.

Ecology Hall of Fame John Burroughs Ecology Hall of Fame Burroughs Extracts Appreciation ... Web Links John Burroughs earned his place in the Ecology Hall of Fame with a million and a half copies of his twenty three volumes of essays extolling nature and encouraging people to experience the natural world. While he wrote for adults, teachers found his work both challenging and interesting to students. Eleven schools were named for him; some still in operation. Known as the Hudson River naturalist and the father of the American nature essay, Burroughs became one of the most popular and respected authors of his time. At his rustic cabin, Slabsides, not far from the Hudson that he built with his son in 1895, Burroughs entertained many famous visitors in his later years. Theodore Roosevelt, Walt Whitman, Henry Ford and Thomas Edison came. Fellow Ecology Hall of Famer, John Muir, was a contemporary and friend Growing up on a farm in the Catskill Mountains, Burroughs absorbed much of the nature and country life that would fill his essays in later life. As a clerk in the Treasury Department in Washington, D.C. during the Civil War, he filled idle hours with writing about the outdoors he loved. This became his first book, Wake-Robin. Returning to the Hudson River Valley in 1873, he began fruit farming and continued to write, publishing a new book about every two years. In 1911, Burroughs refurbished an old farmhouse which he called Woodchuck Lodge near his birthplace. There he continued to write and spent his summers until his death. Today, the John Burroughs Association honors his memory with the annual awarding of the John Burroughs Medal to an author of a book length nature essay, and offers an open house and tours at Slabsides at West Park on the third Saturday in May and the first Saturday in October.

John Burroughs Author: Sarracino, Carmine Print Source: J.R. LeMaster and Donald D. Kummings, eds., Walt Whitman: An Encyclopedia, (New York: Garland Publishing, 1998), reproduced by permission. John Burroughs first met Whitman in 1864, while Burroughs was in Washington, D.C., looking for work. After his marriage to Ursula North in 1857, Burroughs foundered financially. Against the wishes of his conventional wife, who had grown up in affluence as the daughter of a prosperous New York farmer, Burroughs hoped to become a writer, thus his interest in Walt Whitman. In 1862 he had frequently visited Pfaff’s beer cellar, a bohemian watering hole and the center of literary life in Manhattan. There Burroughs championed Whitman in literary arguments, anticipating at every moment a meeting with the poet himself. That meeting did not take place at Pfaff’s, but rather by chance on the streets of Washington, D.C., as Whitman made his way to an army hospital to tend wounded soldiers. Always trying to recruit fresh help, Whitman invited Burroughs to come along. In an earlier desperate attempt at employment, Burroughs had briefly worked on a crew that buried Union soldiers whose bodies were transported to Washington. Nursing the horribly wounded was as repugnant to Burroughs as handling mangled corpses, and he soon left his job in the hospitals. But Burroughs and Whitman, who quickly began calling him "Jack," had struck up an enduring friendship.

John was the 7th child (fifth son) in the family of 10 children Brothers, sisters, and John in order of birth and calculated dates of birth: Hiram (1827), Olly Ann (1829), Wilson (1830? 1831?) Curtis (1832), Edmund (1833 or 1834), Jane (1835), John (1837), Eden (1839), Abigail (1843), Eveline (1847) in that order (OFJB 67-70) Historical References Agassiz, Louis (1807-1873) delivers address at a meeting of natural scientists, in northern France, on "an entirely new concept: the Ice Age." Agassiz begins publishing his studies on fossils and living mollusks, and echinoderms. Literary Comments JOHN BURROUGHS WITH HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS Hiram 1827 - 1902 (OFJB 67 / JBAN 15) Olly Ann About 1829 - ? Said to be "about 2 years younger than Hiram" (OFJB 68 / JBAN 15) Wilson About 1830 or 1831 since he is always listed as the third-born, his time of his birth must have fallen between the "calculated birth years of Olly Ann and Curtis. He is reported to have died at 28 yrs. (OFJB 68), but his age was probably closer to 34 or 35, judging from information in an 1864 letter, from JB to Ursula, in which he writes of Wilson's recent death, LL: I, 98).
