The Maine Woods

On August 31, 1846, twenty-nine-year-old Henry David Thoreau left his cabin on Walden Pond to undertake a railroad and steamboat journey to Bangor, Maine, from where he would venture with his Penobscot guide Joe Polis deep into the backwoods of Maine. This account of his expedition, some think, is a profounder exploration of the philosophical themes of the more famous "Walden" than is the latter book, at least revealing his fundamental perspectives in embryonic form. Of particular interest is his sympathetic and penetrating observation of the Indian nations of Maine, especially the Penobscot and Passamaquoddy. - Summary by Expatriate (9 hr 25 min)

Salvation


(5 stars)

This book saved a rainy vacation in the Maine Woods. My fiancee and I were stuck in a small cabin for five days, and it rained for five days. We were thrilled to relax while listening to the book in the evenings. It's an overlooked treasure of American literature and history. The narrator, Expatriate of Bangor, did such a masterful job that we thought we were listening to the philosopher in his own voice. We hope to share it with our children some day.

A example of respect for nature and indigenous culture


(4 stars)

I liked this book, good narrated and a documentation of the nature at that time. Had more people had the respect for natur the author is showing it might look better today. Amazing is his respect and interest for the Indians knowledge and culture too. No superior white man's attitude there but a humble student of their mastery.

I loved this book


(5 stars)

What a great adventure and what a great mind and friend of nature. I highly recommend this!
