I have not tried, as the phrase is, to lead my readers from Nature up to Nature’s God, because I can not separate the one from the other.” – “Day By Day”, published 1922 John Burroughs was born on April 3, 1837 on his family’s farm in Roxbury New York . He spent his youth working on the farm and exploring Old Clump Mountain. His favorite place he called Boyhood Rock, where he would sit and study the ways of Nature around him. He was a teacher, a journalist, a treasury clerk in Washington, DC during the Civil War (where he met and befriended Walt Whitman ), and a bank examiner before returning to his beloved Catskills . In 1871, his first book ” Wake Robin ” was published. In 1874 he bought a small farm in Esopus, and devoted himself completely to his writing. Later, he would divide his time between “Slabsides”, his summer retreat at West Park, near Esopus, and “Woodchuck Lodge” in Roxbury. His essays ranged from studies of Birds Bees and nature to religion and literature. Burroughs was a staunch defender of Walt Whitman and Henry David Thoreau – then unpopular because of their perceived literary excesses. But the writing he is best known for are his gentle observations of nature. From his youth, Burroughs was an avid fly fisherman and known among Catskill anglers. He contributed several notable fishing essays to angling literature. The most notable of these was ” Speckled Trout “, which appeared in October 1870 and was later published in a book of his essays. In ” Speckled Trout ” Burroughs highlights his experiences as an angler and celebrates the trout, streams and lakes of the Catskills. Over the years, Burroughs wrote 23 volumes of essays, 3 of which were published posthumously. In later years his guests at Slabsides & at Woodchuck Lodge included Theodore Roosevelt , Walt Whitman , John Muir , Henry Ford , Thomas Edison and Harvey Firestone , and many more. Fellow Ecology hall of famer John Muir was a contemporary and a friend. Burroughs enjoyed good physical and mental health during his later years until only a few months before his death when he began to experience lapses in memory and show general signs of advanced age. In February 1921 Burroughs underwent an operation to remove an abscess from his chest. Following this operation, his health steadily declined. Burroughs died on March 29, 1921, while on a train near Kingsville, Ohio. He was buried in Roxbury, New York, on what would have been his 84th birthday, at the foot of a rock he had played on as a child and affectionately referred to as ‘’Boyhood Rock’’. A line that he had written years before is etched on the tablet that marks the spot: “I stand amid the eternal ways”. Since his death in 1921, John Burroughs has been commemorated by the John Burroughs Association. Thirteen U.S. schools have been named after Burroughs. Burroughs Mountain in Mount Rainier National Park is named in his honor. Burroughs Creek in St. Louis County, Missouri , was named to honor him. There was a medal named after John Burroughs and the John Burroughs Association publicly recognizes well-written and illustrated natural history publications. Each year the Burroughs medal is awarded to the author of a distinguished book of natural history. An award bearing Burroughs name is available to Boy Scouts who attend Seven Ranges Scout Reservation in Kensington, Ohio. The requirements to achieve this award require ample knowledge in the field of plants, rocks and minerals, astronomy, and animals.
