104. Henry David Thoreau Henry David Thoreau, 1817 1862. Henry David Thoreau was a writer, philosopher, and naturalist who was born and lived in Concord, Massachusetts. http://www.alcott.net/alcott/home/champions/Thoreau.html

Henry David Thoreau Henry David Thoreau was a writer, philosopher, and naturalist who was born and lived in Concord, Massachusetts . From 1841 to 1843, he resided in the home of essayist and Transcendental philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson . He had a lifelong friendship and association with Emerson, who introduced him to other writers and nonconformist thinkers who were making Concord the center of new ideas. Among them were Amos Bronson Alcott W. Ellery Channing Margaret Fuller , and Nathaniel Hawthorne . Essentially a philosopher of individualism, Thoreau placed nature above materialism in private life and ethics above conformity in politics. He published essays, poems, and reviews in various magazines, including the Dial , whose editorship he assumed briefly in 1843 when Emerson was away. In 1845, in what has become a much-celebrated experiment, Thoreau built and lived in a crude hut on the shore of Walden Pond. Here he devoted his time to studying nature, meditating on philosophical problems, reading classic literature, and holding long conversations with his neighbors. By no means a hermit, he frequently walked to the village, entertained visitors at his house, and hired himself out as a surveyor. After his Walden experience, Thoreau plied his skills as a surveyor to earn what little money he needed for the things that he could not "grow or make or do without." He spent his free time walking, studying, and writing. Like John Muir , Thoreau derived inspiration and spiritual sustenance from exploring the wilderness and was quite adept and inventive at woodcraft. He lectured at the Concord Lyceum and elsewhere in New England, and once traveled as far west as Philadelphia. He became increasingly involved with social and political issues, often speaking out against economic injustice and slavery. In 1846, following Alcott's example, he chose to go to jail rather than support the Mexican War (1846 - 1848) by paying his poll tax. Thoreau clarified his position in his essay "Civil Disobedience" (1849), in which he also discussed passive resistancea method of protest that later was adopted by Indian leader Mohandas Gandhi as well as by civil rights activists in the United States. At the age of 44, the "self-appointed inspector of snowstorms" died of tuberculosis.

107. Henry David Thoreau Henry David Thoreau (1817 1862). A Winter Walk. Autograph manuscript, with emendations and deletions in the hand of Ralph Waldo Emerson New York, 1843, http://www.lib.udel.edu/ud/spec/exhibits/treasures/american/thoreau.html

HENRY DAVID THOREAU (1817 -1862) "A Winter Walk." Autograph manuscript, with emendations and deletions in the hand of Ralph Waldo Emerson [New York, 1843], 18 pages. This magnificent manuscript was written in New York in 1843, while Thoreau was staying with Emerson's brother, submitted to Emerson and published later that year in The Dial . The essay was revised by Thoreau during composition and edited for publication by Emerson, who made a few substantive changes and numerous deletions. The manuscript, which varies significantly from the published text, was apparently used as printer's copy for The Dial , and all the revisions and deletions were observed. Thoreau's manuscript originally consisted of 43 pages, of which the first 16 pages and pages 19-20 do not survive. Present here are pages 17-18, 21-24 and 29-40. The Pierpont Morgan Library and the Houghton Library each have one of the missing leaves, and two addi- tional leaves survive in private collections. "A Winter Walk," which has been called Thoreau's "first fully mature piece of writ- ing," contains some of his earliest serious writing on nature, with allusions to both Walden Pond and the Concord River. It was first published in book form in Excursions in 1863.
