Volume two of the Journal includes Thoreau's extensive
reminiscences of his 1839 excursion with his brother John along the
Concord and Merrimack rivers and all his first impressions and
observations entered in journals during the famous Walden sojourn.
Collectively, these journals illustrate the middle stage of
Thoreau's literary career--a stage noteworthy for his "devotion to
the mastery of his craft" as evidenced by the progressive,
intermingled drafts of "A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers"
and "Walden," "Thomas Carlyle and His Works," "Wendell Phillips
Before Concord Lyceum," and "Ktaadn, and the Maine Woods." More
than half of the material presented in Journal 2 is previously
unpublished.
