In August 1858, painter and editor William James Stillman organized a camping expedition for some of America's preeminent intellectuals to Follensby Pond in the Adirondacks. Dubbed the "Philosophers' Camp," the group included Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz, Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar, James Russell Lowell, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. This book recounts the story of the Philosophers' Camp, from the lives and careers of the participants to the extensive preparations for the expedition and the several-day encampment to its lasting legacy.
