Julian Burroughs and John Burroughs at Oxford Cave, Jamaica, 1902

Summary

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, Alaska, Hawaii, much of the United States, and in 1902, he and his son, Julian, visited Jamaica.
