John Burroughs is well known as
one of the foremost nature writer's
in this country. Some ,ime ago he
visited his brother, Eden Burroughs,
who lives in the Catskills, at place
called Hobart. The two brothers went
for hunting together. The honor Of
the hunt came to Eden, who shot the
only fox. So it happened that fox
skins were worth five dollars at that
time. and the successful Nimrod took
much pride in telling how he got the
better Of the sage of Slabsides. Later,
in boasting to few friends about it
in the presence of his brother John,
he was interrupted by, You have
Dragged about that fox hunt long
enough. You shot the fox, sold the
skin and got five dollars. I wrote a
little account of the hunt. and got
SIS from the magazine which publish
ed it. So there you are!"
