John Burroughs: Naturalist and Conscience of the Common Man

[@JohnB-g1k]

Most every day i make it a point to read Mr. Burroughs words about the bald eagle at the end of Wild Life About My Cabin. They are the most beautiful words I have ever read.

Wonderful work. Burroughs is a giant and is garnering renewed attention and respect. Your video is inspiring.

[@fabled-pilgrim]

Concise and well researched by someone who clearly has respect for the subject.

Excellent video. I always loved John Burroughs and second the motion that he should get recognition like John Muir. I went to John Burroughs Junior High in Los Angeles and remember a beautiful portrait of him in the school library. Boyhood Rock touches my soul.

Beautiful video!

Good job, I like reading Burroughs, my mother introduced me to him some 50 years ago and I still love reading his works.

@Jacob Diaz to his writings..

Thank you for this Adelie! He is my 3rd great Uncle. I spent time as a child at Woodchuck Lodge. I wish he would get as much attention as Muir. His thoughts are especially relevant now- slow down, explore the world, contemplate.

tracy Farr I’m glad you enjoyed it! Apparently he is a great uncle of mine, too! And I agree, his philosophies definitely hold true today.

I love nature!

This video is inspiring and informative to the point it made me cry.

Great work! I learned a lot in 10 short minutes. Well done.

[@adelie.c]

Thank you so much!

Constructive feedback: Leave out the background music. The focus should be on Burroughs, his words, his life. The music detracts.

How can you talk about John Burroughs and never once mention Walt Whitman? As we see from a book that is shown briefly, Burroughs wrote several books and many articles and pamphlets about his mentor and inspirational teacher, Walt Whitman. The love of his life, Clara Barrus, wrote a book called Burroughs and Whitman, Comrades, in which she lays out the foundations of the career of John Burroughs and attributes his "raison d'etre" to Walt Whitman.
