Description

Book Synopsis
From 1837 to 1861, Thoreau kept a Journal that began as a conventional record of ideas, grew into a writer's notebook, and eventually became the principal imaginative work of his career. This work reveals him as an increasingly confident taxonomist creating lists that distill his observations about plant leafing and seasonal birds.
