My Boyhood
John Burroughs
174 pages~3 hr 28 min read6 chapters$4.99
Before he was America's beloved nature essayist, John Burroughs was a barefoot farm boy in the Catskills. In this final, unfinished memoir he remembers his father, the old homestead, and the fields that shaped his eye. His son Julian adds a closing portrait. A gentle look at where a naturalist's love of the world begins.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
