the Thoreau Log.
17 February 1854. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—To Gowing’s Swamp.

  On the hill at the Deep Cut on the new road, the ground is frozen about a foot deep, and they carry off lumps equal nearly to a cartload at a time. Moore’s man is digging a ditch by the roadside in his swamp . . .

(Journal, 6:125-127)
