Frank Sanborn knew Thoreau for the last seven years of his life and boarded with his family, so this biography draws on close acquaintance. It follows his birth and Concord childhood, the town’s famous people and its Revolutionary farmers, the Transcendental years, the Walden cabin, his friendships, and his views as poet, moralist and philosopher.
An early and intimate portrait of Thoreau, written by one of Concord’s own. Download the free EPUB.
