Burroughs' work was incredibly popular during his lifetime, and his legacy has lived on in the form of twelve U.S. Schools named after him, Burroughs Mountain, and the John Burroughs Association-which publicly recognizes well-written and illustrated natural history publications. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Autorenporträt
John Burroughs (1837-1921) was an eminent American naturalist and essayist, instrumental in the development of the nature essay as a respected literary genre. With a deep reverence for the natural world and a style both clear and evocative, Burroughs's writing invites readers into intimate communion with the landscapes and wildlife he cherished. 'Fresh Fields', one of his many contributions to American literature, epitomizes this blend of precise observation and poetic appreciation. Burroughs's vast oeuvre extends beyond mere chronicling of nature; it delves into philosophical musings, advocating for the preservation of the wilderness and revealing the interconnectedness of life. A contemporary and friend of luminaries like Walt Whitman and Theodore Roosevelt, Burroughs played a seminal role in the conservation movement of his time, influencing public opinion with his accessible and passionate prose. Although not as widely known today as some of his counterparts, Burroughs's legacy endures through his extensive bibliography, which includes titles such as 'Wake-Robin' and 'Birds and Bees', and his continuing impact on environmental thought and nature writing.
