Rediscovering the Maine Woods - Thoreau's Legacy in an Unsettled Land (Paperback)

The Maine Woods, vast and largely unsettled, are often described as
unchanged since Henry David Thoreau's 1847 journey across the
backcountry, in spite of the realities of Indian dispossession and
the visible signs of logging, settlement, tourism, and real estate
development. In the summer of 2014 scholars, indigenous peoples,
activists, and other individuals retraced Thoreau's route. Inspired
partly by this expedition, the accessible and engaging essays here
offer valuable new perspectives on conservation, the cultural ties
that connect Native communities to the land, and the profound
influence the geography of the Maine Woods had on Thoreau and
writers and activists who followed in his wake. Together, these
essays offer a rich and multifaceted look at this special place and
the ways in which Thoreau's Maine experiences continue to shape
understandings of the environment a century and a half later.
Contributors include the volume editor, Kathryn Dolan, James S.
Finley, James Francis, Richard W. Judd, Dale Potts, Melissa Sexton,
Chris Sockalexis, Stan Tag, Robert M. Thorson, and Laura Dassow
Walls.
