When Henry David Thoreau died at the age of forty-four in 1862, he had written a forest of articles and essays that eventually earned him a reputation as a first-rate naturalist, conservationist, and social critic. His gravesite in Concord, Massachusetts, is a pilgrimage site for readers who still turn to Walden, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, Maine Woods, "Civil Disobediance," and "Walking" for inspiration. Thoreau was a supreme articulator of America's conscience when the country was...

"How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live," Henry David Thoreau once observed. The American poet, essayist and philosopher certainly held himself to that standard -- living out the tenets of Transcendentalism, recounting the experience in his masterpiece, Walden (1854), and passionately advocating human rights and civil liberties in the famous essay, “Civil Disobedience” (1849).

Walden written by Henry David Thoreau
In 1845 Henry David Thoreau left his pencil-manufacturing business and began building a cabin on the shore of Walden Pond near Concord, Massachusetts. This lyrical yet practical-minded book is at once a record of the 26 months Thoreau spent in withdrawal from society -- an account of the daily minutiae of building, planting, hunting, cooking, and, always, observing nature -- and a declaration of independence from the oppressive mores of the world he left behind. Elegant, witty, and quietly searching...

Store your stamps out of direct sunlight (and even bright lighting) or heat as the rubber can dry up. With new stamps, experiment first on scrap paper to become familiar with the image. Press the stamp firmly on the ink pad, but don't drag it or rock or wiggle as the result can be blurred or shadowed. To clean your stamps, stamp on scrap paper until the image is gone. Or stamp on a wet paper towel. If the ink builds up on the stamp rubber, gently wipe it with a toothbrush using mild soap and water...

Although the collected writings of Henry David Thoreau fill some twenty volumes, his name -- and fame -- will forever be linked with Walden: of Life in the Woods . It is no wonder that Thoreau remains an enigma. He lived his life in the shadows. With few intimate friends, Thoreau lived always in Concord -- except when escaping to the greater peace of Walden Pond, but a mile away. And after death, his fame came to rest on the fact that he lived almost independently of familiar civilization, in a...

In 1845 Thoreau built himself a shanty in the woods by Walden Pond, where he lived from 1845 to 1847. Walden has remained a successful treatise on the subjects of self-sufficiency, individualism, relationship with nature, and rejection of material ambition.

HENRY DAVID THOREAU, during Walden Pond's balmy spring of 1845, laid out $14.72 1/2 for garden supplies. The price included, he admitted shamefacedly, the hire of a neighboring farmer with team to do his plowing, but he got all his seed corn for free, so things seem to have averaged out. In view of this, our projected family garden expenditures — to include, in the wishful planning period, heirloom apple and fig trees, wine grapes, wisteria, lilac bushes, six colors of day lilies and (what the hell...
