📕 Over the course of three years, Henry David Thoreau made three trips into the widely unexplored woods of Maine, taking notes constantly, acutely observing the rivers, the lakes, the mountains, the animals, and stars, he also told of nights sitting by campfires, of meeting men who communicated by writing on the trunks of trees. Here Thoreau captures a lesser known, wild side of America, while simultaneously revealing his own courageous spirit.
