This volume of Henry David Thoreau's writings presents his journal from 1850 to September 15, 1851. In it he records walks, seasonal changes, plants, birds, and reflections on nature around Concord. It is worth listening to for its quiet, attentive prose and its window into Thoreau's daily observations and thought.
