John Burroughs
America's Most Beloved
Nature Writer
Abstract:
This hypertext is an introduction to the writings and life of John Burroughs (1837-1921) , one of the most popular nature writers of his time, who is now being "rediscovered" for his ecological foresight and sensitivity to nature at one's doorstep. The site is large, multi-faceted, and gives visitors a peacefully quiet and stress-relieving visit with an American writer who rewards our attention every bit as much today as he did when he was alive. The web author hopes that the section entitled "Contemporary Nature Writers" will encourage modern-day essayists on ecological themes to contribute their writings to this on-going project.
Author's Bio:
Walt Carroll says he's not sure whether to describe himself as a businessman-educator or an educator-businessman. He established his company, Olympic Media Information (A Clearinghouse for Educational Films and Videos) in 1967. In 1996, he is about to publish his widely used databases, the "Educational Media Locator" and the "Healthcare Media Locator" in interactive versions. He has done teacher training at the State University of New York and taught desktop publishing at Ulster County (NY) Community College. His current academic affiliation is with the (online) Globewide Network Academy, where he distance-teaches the course he developed while at America Online, "Quick, Concise, Correct Writing," along with a new workshop, "HTML: An Introduction for Writers."

43. JOHN BURROUGHS AND THE PLACE OF NATURE
wilderness and landscape can be directly applied to the two most prominent naturewriters of the period, John Muir (18381914) and John Burroughs (1837-1921).
http://home.wlu.edu/~warrenj/pastoral.htm
AMERICAN PASTORALISM, 1865-1920: BURROUGHS, MUIR, AND THE PLACE OF NATURE Introduction American Pastoralism will be a tightly organized book of six chapters, totaling some 90,000 words, which will map the landscape of American pastoralism between the end of the Civil War and the end of World War I. In this project, I argue that the period between 1865 and 1920 can shed considerable light on the place of nature both in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and in our present critical situation. The literature of ecocriticism focuses on environmental writing and the relationship between nature and culture, and the field has grown steadily over the past twenty years. A bibliography of major works would run several pages, but it would certainly include Leo Marx’s Machine in the Garden and Lawrence Buell’s The Environmental Imagination . One of the major aims of my project is to lay down the coordinates of the American pastoral and to suggest how I map the literary and cultural landscape of pastoralism during the crucial period of industrialization and urbanization after the Civil War, a period that in my view delivered the United States into modernity. A recent, excellent example of such a map occurs in Don Scheese’s Nature Writing: The Pastoral Impulse in America (Twayne 1996). Using the work of landscape historian John Brinckerhoff Jackson, Scheese distinguishes between

    Literature of the Hudson River Valley
    "Whoever has made a voyage up the Hudson must remember the Kaatskill Mountains. They are a dismembered branch of the great Appalachian family, and are seen away to the west of the river, swelling up to a noble height, and lording it over the surrounding country. Every change of season, every change of weather, indeed, every hour of the day, produces some change in the magical hues and shapes of these mountains, and they are regarded by all the good wives, far and near, as perfect barometers. When the weather is fair and settled, they are clothed in blue and purple, and print their bold outlines on the clear evening sky; but sometimes, when the rest of the landscape is cloudless, they will gather a hood of gray vapors about their summits, which, in the last rays of the setting sun, will glow and light up like a crown of glory."
    Washington Irving, Rip Van Winkle
    Washington Irving (1783-1859)
    Irving was America's first internationally famous author. His work is so inextricably a part of the early Dutch towns of the Hudson River Valley that it is difficult to think of one without the other. In fact pieces he wrote which are set in other places are relatively unknown. The stories set in "these fairy mountains" are known for their subtle wit and memorable characters such as Ichabod Crane and Rip Van Winkle. He was born in New York City in 1783 and set out to study law although he had no love for it. He began to contribute essays to New York newspapers in 1802 and soon began earning a reputation as an amusing satirical writer on New York society. Together with his brothers Peter and William Irving, and William's brother-in-law James Paulding, they published

    Go Take A Hike!
    According to Webster, a "naturalist" is "a student of animals or plants, especially in the field." With these simple qualifications, you can easily become a naturalist too. Take a hike. While you go on your "nature walk" be a naturalist by "studying" the many lifeforms, both animals and plants, that you see in your "field." The best place to be a naturalist, of course, is outdoors. So, you need to turn off your computer and go take a hike! Later, come back and visit these websites dedicated to the naturalist in all of us. Compare your own experiences. Rachel Carson
    "Rachel Carson changed the world, come see how the world changed Rachel Carson" invites this website dedicated to the work of this woman, widely considered the originator of the modern environmental movement. Mary Morris Vaux Walcott
    Known as the "Society Lady in Hobnailed Boots," Mary Walcott left her role in Philadelphia society to "take a hike" in the Canadian Alps. Her pioneering love of nature is an inspiration to modern day environmentalists. The Life of Henry David Thoreau
    Reflections on Walden

    When we think of naturalists, Thoreau immediately comes to mind. He is perhaps the most famous of all naturalists, known especially for his "hikes" near Walden Pond.

    The early environmental movement evolved in the midst of rapid change in American life after the Civil War. Two important figures of the movement came from New York state. They both loved the outdoors, watching birds and wrote of the things they loved. John Burroughs of West Park in Ulster County, with his prose and poetry, won the hearts and minds of a nation headlong into an industrial revolution.

    http://www.sierraclub.org/john_muir_exhibit/people/burroughs.html
    • Literary naturalist and essayist from the Catskills of New York. John Burroughs was one of America's foremost nature writers. He was a biographer of Walt Whitman and is famous for his love of birds. Burroughs accompanied Muir on the Alaska Harriman Expedition and other trips, including visits to Grand Canyon and Yosemite. He chronicled the discovery of Yosemite by the Mariposa Battalion in 1851. Burroughs wrote of Muir after their second meeting: "He is a poet and almost a Seer. Something ancient and far-away in the look of his eyes. He could not sit down in the corner of the landscape, as Thoreau did, he must have a continent for his playground..... Probably the truest lover of Nature.... we have yet had... [But here is] a little prolix... Ask him to tell you his famous dog story and you will get the whole theory of glaciation thrown in."
      After Muir's death, Burroughs made this comment:
