In May 1901, John Burroughs traveled to the State Normal School in New Paltz, New York to share his love of nature with the students. On a hike he discussed the local landscape and made observations about the natural world -- the group even found a quail's nest with eggs. Students later wrote thank you notes and invited Burroughs back for a future visit.
