Description

Excerpt from A Week on the Concord and Merrimac Rivers Among the belongings of Henry David Thoreau which are shown to the visitor in Concord - his. Bed, his chair and writing - desk, his quill, and the buckskin suit given him by an Indian friend - is a curious walking-stick which was cut from a cherry tree sixty or seventy years ago by a man who knew how to use a jack - knife. There are few pieces of dead wood that one would give more to possess. It has gone walking With Emerson and Hawthorne; it has travelled much in Concord, as also in Sudbury, Lincoln, Acton, Carlisle, and Billerica it may have climbed Monadnock or tapped its way through the Tuckerman Ravine; it has been intimate With a man who allowed few intimacies, and that in his best moments, when he was alone in swamp or forest or out with the moon at midnight listening to the haying of dogs in distant farmsteads.
