Description: The Maine Woods Henry D. Thoreau, Riverside Pocket Edition, 1893, Houghton and Mifflin Company, Boston and New York The Riverside Press, Cambridge Mass. Leather Binding. "Over a period of three years, Thoreau made three trips to the largely unexplored woods of Maine. He climbed mountains, paddled a canoe by moonlight, and dined on cedar beer, hemlock tea and moose lips. Taking notes constantly, Thoreau was just as likely to turn his observant eye to the habits and languages of the Abnaki Indians or the arduous life of the logger as he was to the workings of nature. He acutely observed the rivers, lakes, mountains, wolves, moose, and stars in the dark sky. He also told of nights sitting by the campfire, and of meeting men who communicated with each other by writing on the trunks of trees. In The Maine Woods, Thoreau captured a wilder side of America and revealed his own adventurous spirit." -Google excerpt The leather cover on this American classic has seen better days, but the pages inside are in great condition, (see photos). The only other serious defect is an inscription on the inside blank cover page from 1916, (see photo).
