Description:
(Naturalist) John Burroughs was an American naturalist and nature essayist known for his contributions to the conservation movement in the United States. His work focused on recording his own unique perceptions of the natural world, making him more of a literary naturalist than a scientific one. His essay collections, starting with Wake-Robin in 1871, were popular during his time for their resonance with the cultural moment. However, his work has since faded into relative obscurity despite its initial popularity.
