Canoeing in the Wilderness (annotated)

By Henry David Thoreau and Clifton Johnson

Book Overview

Canoeing in the Wilderness is a classic wilderness adventure story by Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau was born at Concord, Massachusetts, July 12, 1817, and at the time he made this wilderness canoe trip he was forty years old. The record of the journey is the latter half of his The Maine Woods, which is perhaps the finest idyl of the forest ever written. It is particularly charming in its blending of meditative and poetic fancies with the minute description of the voyager's experiences.
