The first book and travel narrative written by American author Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), outlining the boat trip he took with his brother John up into New Hampshire in 1839.

Includes a stylized version of the classic Maxham daguerreotype portrait and six natural scenes as captured by photographer Herbert W. Gleason. Not the prettiest jewel in the box, but just fine and dandy inside.
