Lake Calhoun, Minn. Thoreau writes in his journal:
P.m. to Lake Harriet, along swamp (Thoreau’s Minnesota Journey, 16).
Concord, Mass. Mary Mann writes to her son Horace Mann Jr.:
Mr. Thoreau wrote his sister that you were having a nice time in Natural History. I was amused to hear from Miss Thoreau that the last war news Mr. T. had heard was of the killing of seven hundred men at Leavall’s Point, because that was a hoax and a fortnight old.(The Correspondence of Henry David Thoreau, 618)
