IN THE SPIRIT OF UNDYING ADVENTURE! Sauntering through natural landscapes is a noble art; and one that Henry David Thoreau held in the highest regard. Though he is perhaps best known for Walden: Life in the Woods and his essay “Civil Disobedience,” Thoreau was an early advocate of recreational hiking, canoeing, and conserving natural resources. A passionate nature writer, he penned many articles that shared these philosophies and perspectives. This carefully restored re-creation of the 1863 essay collection Excursions features the nine original essays that were published posthumously: “Natural History of Massachusetts” “A Walk to Wachusett” “The Landlord” “A Winter Walk” “The Succession of Forest Trees” “Walking” “Autumnal Tints” “Wild Apples” “Night and Moonlight” This revised special edition also includes the original detailed biographical sketch of Thoreau by fellow transcendentalist and friend Ralph Waldo Emerson. Featuring a brand-new foreword by J.F. Penn, best-selling author of PILGRIMAGE: Lessons Learned from Walking Three Ancient Ways, and a fresh introduction from editor Mark Leslie. ______ "In these ever more fast-moving times, as the constant noise of media in every form buffets us, and bad news from across the world shakes our sense of well-being daily, we can find truth in Thoreau’s words that 'in society you will not find health, but in nature.'" - J.F. Penn

Henry David Thoreau, born July 12, 1817, was a naturalist, author, philosopher and transcendentalist who was best known for his 1854 book Walden; or Life in the Woods. That book, and many of Thoreau's essays and speeches, concerned themselves with the importance of living a plain and simple life in natural environments removed from civilization, leading to more self-reliance and spiritual discovery. Thoreau's other most well-known work is his 1849 essay “Civil Disobedience” which led to his often being referred to as an anarchist, which he heartily accepted. In his later years he maintained his fascination with travel and excursions and became more interested in land surveying. He died on May 6, 1862, at the age of 44 just a couple of years after a late-night rainstorm outing to count the rings of tree stumps when he fell ill with bronchitis, which eventually led to him becoming bedridden. Ralph Waldo Emerson, who wrote the biographical sketch to Excursions, which was published a posthumously in 1862, wrote the eulogy that was read at Thoreau's funeral. His remains, originally buried at a family plot, were later relocated to Author’s Ridge at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord, Massachusetts. Other notable writers buried in that location include Louisa May Alcott, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Ralph Waldo Emerson.
