Thoreau Quotes
All good things are wild and free
Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes.
Different Drummer
Give me truth
Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads
In Wildness is the preservation of the world.
I went to the woods
Simplify, simplify
Surely joy is the condition of life
Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in

In 1861, just months before his death, Henry David Thoreau journeyed west with his traveling companion, Horace Mann, Jr. In July they visited Mackinac Island, where they explored the natural wonders of Northern Michigan and studied the flora and fauna of the straits area. This book celebrates Thoreau's bicentennial and commemorates his visit to Mackinac. Contributors are John Barr, Kevin Barton, Rachel Cline, Chloe Herscher, Jeffrey Riordan Hinich, James P. Lenfestey, Kyle Miller, Pete Olson, Tammy Rose, Corinne H. Smith, Glen Young, and Henry Thoreau himself.
Mackinac Arts Council, 2017. Paperback, 135 pp.
Meet Henry David Thoreau, U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, and other intrepid explorers as you travel northern Maine's rugged woods and waters. In a wild country of ledge and trees that stubbornly resists encroaching civilization, find a young couple padding through the trials, triumphs, and sheer mental and physical exhaustion of wilderness travel severely testing their ability to get along and even complete the trip. Fill your ears with roaring rapids and yodeling loons. Smell pungent spruce and dank swamps. Encounter moose and majestic sunrises cloaked in morning mist. A few pages, and you will find yourself deep in the evergreen forest. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.
Homebound Publications, 2016. Paperback, 156 pp.
Quote selection and editing by Michael Frederick, Executive Director, The Thoreau Society. Photographer Bridget Besaw provides us with a stunning first book. Its focus is the necessity of protecting and promoting the Maine North Woods, and the Thoreau-Wabanaki Trail, an interconnected series of paddling and hiking routes in northern Maine that were traveled in the 1850s by Henry David Thoreau and his Penobscot guides. The routes he and his guides followed are part of a much larger system of primeval waterways used by Native American peoples for thousands of years before Thoreau's journeys in the 1840s and 1850s and since. SIGNED BY THE EDITOR.

Green Frigate Books, 2012. Paperback, 6 x 9 inch format, 435 pp.
In the hot summer of 2004, the author floated away from the routine of daily life just as Henry David Thoreau and his brother had done in their own small boat in 1839. This first-person narrative
uses his ecological way of looking, of going deep rather than far, to show that our outward journeys are inseparable from our inward ones.
