Présentation de l'éditeur

June 3, 1869. This morning provisions, camp kettles, blankets, plant-press, etc. Were packed on two horses, the flock headed for the tawny foothills, and away we sauntered in a cloud of dust: Mr. Delaney, bony and tall, with sharply hacked profile like Don Quixote, leading the pack-horses, Billy, the proud Shepherd, a Chi naman and a Digger Indian to assist in driving for the first few days in the brushy foothills, and myself with notebook tied to my belt.

Revue de presse

For Cape Cod: "In bringing out an illustrated edition of Thoreau’s 1865 classic, the editors have, perhaps inadvertently, set up a competition: Can the writer or the photographer make us see the Cape more vividly? Miller is up to the challenge. The winner is the reader."--Providence Journal

A travel classic by "the most celebrated celebrator of nature in America." -- Commentary
