Description

This is an autobiographical narrative by Henry David Thoreau, originally published in 1864. It contains three accounts of trips to Maine: "Ktaadn", describing an excursion to Mt Ktaadn in 1846 - "Chesuncook", a journey from Bangor to Chesuncook Lake in 1853 - and "The Allegash and East Branch", concerned with a voyage from Bangor to St John's Lakes by way of Moosehead and Chesuncook, returning via the east branch of the Penobscot in 1857.

Author Biography:

Henry David Thoreau was born in Concord, Massachusetts in 1817. He graduated from Harvard in 1837, the same year he began his lifelong Journal. Inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thoreau became a key member of the Transcendentalist movement that included Margaret Fuller and Bronson Alcott. The Transcendentalists' faith in nature was tested by Thoreau between 1845 and 1847 when he lived for twenty-six months in a homemade hut at Walden Pond. While living at Walden, Thoreau worked on the two books published during his lifetime- Walden (1854) and A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849). Several of his other works, including The Maine Woods, Cape Cod, and Excursions, were published posthumously. Thoreau died in Concord, at the age of forty-four, in 1862. Edward Hoagland's books include The Courage of Turtles, Walking the Dead Diamond River, Red Wolves and Black Bears, and Notes from the Century Before- A Journal from British Columbia.
