Henry Thoreau as Remembered by a Young FriendCourier Corporation, 1999 M06 1 - 64 pages An 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. A moving, sensitive and charmingly written remembrance—often cited in scholarly biographies—offers valuable insights, not available elsewhere, into the life of a remarkable man. |
