An American essayist and naturalist, John Burroughs was a master prose stylist, whose enchanting essays closely studied and celebrated nature. A staunch defender of Walt Whitman and Ralph Waldo Emerson, he is best known for his observations on birds, flowers and rural scenes, while his later writings reveal a more philosophic and meditative approach. Burroughs was one of the most popular authors of his day and is credited with creating the modern nature essay. Employing simple prose, he described nature that was familiar and local, bringing the natural world to his devoted readers. Through his writings and friendships with influential leaders, Burroughs went on to have a profound impact on the emerging conservation movements.
