Description
John Burroughs (April 3, 1837 - March 29, 1921) was an American naturalist, proponent of the American conservation movement and one of the most important practitioners of the American literary genre, the nature essay. He is best known for his observations on birds, flowers and rural scenes, but his essay topics also range to religion, philosophy, and literature. Burroughs was a staunch defender of Walt Whitman and Ralph Waldo Emerson. His achievements as a writer were confirmed by his election as a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
