Description: Bon Echo, Ontario: Bon Echo Inn, 1916. 1916. - Octavo, 9-1/8 inches high by 6 inches wide. Softcover, pictorial light blue stapled wraps. There are slits to the wraps along the rusted staples. 31 & [1] pages with pictorial and formal decorations. There are rust stains along the centerfold. Very good. John Burroughs' poem "Waiting" here published on the last page of this 1916 issue of "The Sunset of Bon Echo" as "My Own Shall Come to Me" by "John Boroughs". Despite the different title and misspelling of Burroughs' name, the poem is the same as "Waiting": "Serene, I fold my hands and wait.." Burroughs' poem was first published in 1863. The periodical also includes John Addington Symonds' poem "These Things Shall Be!" and a poem on "Walt Whitman" by W.W. Lovejoy. Located on the Upper and Lower Mazinaw Lakes in Ontario, Bon Echo, a sixty-four-hundred-acre tract of wilderness, was the center of Whitman activities from 1916 through the 1920's. The estate, with its large inn and cottages was operated by the Canadian suffragist and spiritualist Flora MacDonald Denison who published the little magazine "The Sunset of Bon Echo" which was dedicated to Walt Whitman. She held meetings of the Whitman Club of Bon Echo. MacDonald turned the face of the granite cliff overlooking the lakes into a monument to Whitman and named it "Old Walt". Together with Horace Traubel, they dedicated the monument to his memory in the Summer of 1919, just a few days before Traubel passed away. Her son Merrill unsuccessfully attempted to run Bon Echo as a boys' camp following her death and subsequently donated the land to Canada in 1959. Bon Echo is now an Ontario Provincial Park. Very good .
