Richard Harris Wright

Henry David Thoreau (pronounced "thorough") was an American philosopher, naturalist and social commentator. From July 4, 1845 to September 6, 1847, he lived in a small house which he built with his own hands and primitive tools on the shore of Walden Pond outside Concord, Massachusetts. He wrote about nature and life in "Walden Pond; or, a Life in the Woods."

"Walden Too: Building and Living in Your Little House in the Woods" encourages readers to at least approximate Thoreau's experience at Walden Pond, to the extent that is possible in the twenty-first century.
