Burroughs Recollection of a First Sweetheart Remembered
John Burroughs recalls his youth and a childhood sweetheart in a semi autobiography written by Dr. Chira Burrus. He describes the girl walking past the schoolhouse, details of their play near a barn, and memories of her pink summer dress and a pretend egg fashioned from hay and straw. The reminiscence evokes rural West settlement scenes with Bartram’s neighbor, a stoneboat, and a prediginius voice calling home.
