About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1919. Reissue. Hard Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket. 0x0x0. An exceptional set. 1919 Hard Cover. Complete in twenty volumes, though additional volumes were released subsequently -- at the time of publication in 1919, this set comprised Burroughs entire body of work. Original turquoise cloth, gilt titles and decorations, top edge gilt. Each volume includes black-and-white frontispiece and several photographic plates. John Burroughs was an influential naturalist in the 19th and early 20th century, particularly in his advocacy of environmental conservation, and is perhaps only overshadowed as a nature essayist by Henry David Thoreau. Each year, beginning in 1926, great works in natural history are awarded the John Burroughs Medal named in his honor.
