Description

The man whose name is synonymous with contemplative rural life took a series of beachcombing walking trips around Cape Cod in the early 1850s. These are his reflections on the region's plants, animals, topography and weather plus his comments on encounters with local people, whose tales of exploration, settlement and survival constitute an oral history of New England. "Unquestionably the best book that has ever been written about Cape Cod and it is the model to which all new books about the Cape are still compared." - Walter Harding, The Days of Henry Thoreau.

Author Biography:

Essayist, poet, and philosopher, Henry David Thoreau (1817-62) ranks among America's foremost nature writers. The Concord, Massachusetts native spent most of his life observing the natural world of New England, and his thoughts on leading a simple, independent life are captured in his best-known work, Walden.
