Add to SetSummary
John Burroughs (1837-1921) was an internationally known naturalist and writer. Though he loved the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York -- where he grew up and where he had a house and several writing retreats -- Burroughs travelled widely. During his lifetime, Burroughs traveled to England, the Caribbean, Alaska, Hawaii, and much of the United States. This photo shows him with family and friends at the Grand Canyon.

Inscriptions
Handwritten on back in pencil and in ink: Baba & Grandmother at the Grand Canyon (Grandmother in black coat seated) in 1911. the other man is Dr. James A. MacDonald, editor of the Toronto Globe. (the University of Glasgow awarded him an honorary degree for this successful career as journalist) I think Mrs. MacDonald is at right (we have another picture of them taken at their home) Karl (sic) Moon took this picture. Perhaps the other woman is Mrs. Moon. /.
