The Adventures of Henry Thoreau – gently used book

Subtitle: A Young Man’s Unlikely Path to Walden Pond

Henry David Thoreau has long been an intellectual icon and folk hero. In this profile, Michael Sims reveals how the young man evolved into a model of environmentalism and nonviolent activism.

Working from nineteenth-century letters and diaries by Thoreau’s family, friends, and students, Sims charts Henry’s course from his time at Harvard through the years he spent living in a cabin beside Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts.

The cover is ever so slightly “shop worn” and the book is perfectly readable.  Hardcover.
