Journal, Volume II: 1850-1851

Thoreau's poems, many first printed in The Dial, gathered in an 1895 selection. Short pieces on rivers, mist, friendship and the inner life.

The first volume of the journal Thoreau kept for almost 25 years, from 1837 to 1846: his early years in Concord, his friendship with Emerson and his move to Walden Pond. Many pages of Walden were born here.

Thoreau's letters to family and friends, Emerson among them, edited by his friend Franklin Sanborn. They show the warm, funny and private side of a writer often seen as a hermit.
