Henry Thoreau as Remembered by a Young Friend
By Edward Waldo EmersonAn extraordinary personal testament to the life and times of one of America's great naturalists and literary figures — less a biography than an essay in defense of Thoreau by one of his closest friends. This moving, sensitive and charmingly written remembrance offers valuable insights into the life of a remarkable man.

Suppose he had done so?
