"For the development of close observation and good feeling toward the common things of life, I know of no writings better than those of John Burroughs." -Mary E. Burt
"Burroughs took to writing his sketches of nature, and about this time he fell in with the writings of Thoreau, which doubtless confirmed and encouraged him in this direction. But of all authors and of all men, Walt Whitman, in his personality and as a literary force, seems to have made the profoundest impression upon Mr. Burroughs, though doubtless Emerson had a greater influence on his style of writing." -Mary E. Burt
