About this ebook
Henry David Thoreau spent the last years of his life editing these essays on his experiences traveling into Maine's hinterlands when they were quite wild. The book expands on his familiar themes, the love of nature and hostility towards modernity and urbanization. The book is perhaps the most environmentalist, in the modern sense, of all of Thoreau's works.

Henry David Thoreau
Henry David Thoreau was born in 1817 in Concord, Massachusetts. He spent time as a school teacher after attending Harvard College but was dismissed for his refusal to administer corporal punishment. In 1845, wanting to write his first book, he moved to Walden Pond and built his cabin on land owned by Ralph Waldo Emerson. It was during his time at Walden that Thoreau was imprisoned briefly for not paying taxes; this experience became the basis for his well-known essay "Civil Disobedience." He died of tuberculosis in 1862 at the age of 44.
