John Burroughs was a United States naturalist and nature writer, an active member in the United States conservation movement. The first set of his essays was Wake-Robin in 1871.

In the lexes of his biographer Edward Renehan, John’s specific individuality was not as much than that of a scientific naturalist thus “a literary naturalist with a duty to record his own unique perceptions of the natural world.” The outcome was a book whose reverberation with the sound of its social instance elucidates both its success during those times, and its comparative oblivion after.
