A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers

by Henry David Thoreau

About this book

Thoreau recounts a river journey made with his brother John through Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Observations of banks, villages and changing weather lead into reflections on books, friendship and the natural world.

The voyage provides the structure for a wide-ranging work of travel writing, combining encounters along the river with poetry and remembered conversations.
