Synopsis
Besides WALDEN, Thoreau's A WEEK ON THE CONCORD AND MERRIMACK RIVERS is the only one of his works to be published in his lifetime. Written while he lived in the Walden cabin, this book is a tribute to the trip he took with his older brother John, who died of lockjaw in his brother's arms when Thoreau was 25.
Publisher's Notes
First Line: "The Musketaquid, or Grass-ground River, though probably as old as the Nile or Euphrates, did not begin to have a place in civilized history, until the fame of its grassy meadows and its fish attracted settlers out of England in 1635, when it received the other but kindred name of CONCORD from the first plantation on its banks, which appears to have been commenced in a spirit of peace and harmony."
