Autumn: From the Journal of Henry David Thoreau

by Henry David Thoreau

Overview

"The seasons and all their changes are in me."

- Henry David Thoreau, Autumn (1892)

Autumn: From the Journal of Henry D. Thoreau (1892) is the compilation of the insightful observations of nature Thoreau made from late September to early December in 1841-1859. Rather than following a yearly chronological organization, the naturalist and philosopher organized the journal by month to give the reader an in-depth view of Massachusetts and all its autumnal majesty. This work, selected by scholars as culturally important to understanding this period in history, is a must-read for lovers of Thoreau's Walden (1854) and nature.
