Over a period of three years, Henry David Thoreau made three trips
to the largely unexplored woods of Maine. He scaled peaks, paddled
a canoe, and dined on hemlock tea and moose lips. Taking notes, he
acutely observed the rich flora and fauna, as well as the few
people he met dotting the landscape, like lumberers, boat-men, and
the Abnaki Indians. - The Maine Woods is an American classic, a
voyage into nature and the heart of early America.
