Not Good Math

From the article...

George Washington Sears (December 2, 1821 – May 1, 1890)

and this...

Sears wrote Woodcraft, a book on camping, in 1884, that has remained in print ever since. A book of poems, Forest Runes, appeared in 1887. He died at his home in Pennsylvania seven years later. Mount Nessmuk, in northern Pennsylvania, is named after him.

From me...

From 1884 to 1890 is only 6 years. From 1887 to 1890 is only 3 years. Neither of those is a 7 years span.
