In this essay, Henry David Thoreau treats his subject as if it were a walk itself. As he wanders, so do his thoughts. Thoreau walked both for exercise of mind and body and as a way of exploring his inner and outer worlds. Henry Thoreau's "Walking" began as a lecture in 1851 and ultimately appeared in The Atlantic Monthly in 1862, shortly after his death.
