the Thoreau Log.
May 1845. Walden Pond.

Thoreau writes in Walden:

  At length, in the beginning of May, with the help of some of my acquaintances, rather to improve so good an occasion for neighborliness than from any necessity, I set up the frame of my house. No man was ever more honored in the character of his raisers than I.
(Walden, 49)

Thoreau’s helpful acquaintances were Ralph Waldo Emerson, A. Bronson Alcott, William Ellery Channing, George William Curtis, Burrill Curtis, Edmund Hosmer, John Hosmer, Edmund Hosmer Jr., and Andrew Hosmer (The Days of Henry Thoreau, 181).
