‘My Boyhood’ is collection of autobiographical sketches by American naturalist John Burroughs. The sketches primarily concern his early boyhood and farm life; and were diligently compiled by his son, Julian Burroughs. John Burroughs (1837 – 1921) was an American naturalist, essayist, and active member of the U.S. conservation movement. 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. Other notable works by this author include: ‘Winter Sunshine’ (1875), ‘Birds and Poets’ (1877), and ‘Locusts and Wild Honey’ (1879). 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.
