Marker detail: John Burroughs at Woodchuck Lodge, Roxbury | Additional Description: In
Locusts and Wild Honey (1874) he wrote of a Catskill Stream: My eyes had never before beheld such beauty in a mountain stream. The water was almost as transparent as air — was, indeed, like liquid air; and as it lay in these wells and pits enveloped in shadow, or lit up by a chance ray of the vertical sun, it was a perpetual feast to the eye — so cool, so deep, so pure; every reach and pool like a vast spring.
