Thoreau's poetic yet realistic observations of the landscape are accompanied by his accounts of day-to-day events. In the mid-nineteenth century, the Maine woodlands were still in pristine condition, inhabited by a handful of Native Americans, pioneer farmers, the occasional lumberjack, and a rich and diverse wildlife population. Canoeing in the Wilderness, the 1857 diary of a two-week sojourn in Maine, chronicles the author's travels with a friend and a Native American guide. His thoughts on leading a simple, independent life remain a foundation of modern environmentalism, as captured in Walden, his best-known work. Henry David Thoreau was an American author, poet, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, historian, philosopher and leading.

The record of the journey is the latter half of his The Maine Woods, which is perhaps the finest idyl of the forest ever written. The Concord, Massachusetts, native spent most of his life observing the natural world of New England. At the time Thoreau made this wilderness canoe trip he was forty years old. Essayist, poet, and philosopher Henry David Thoreau (1817-62) ranks among America's foremost nature writers.
