Summary: It was "Faith in a SEED," Sarah aka Harry aka--you know
Comment: As I pointed out in my earlier review, written when I lived in Lincoln, Mass., this is a reprint of "Thoreau in the Mountains" (Farrar, Straus, Giroux, 1983).

Rating: 5
Summary: Faith in a Deed
Comment: I wish that the anonymous reviewer from Lincoln who is a Thoreauvian scholar in his own right had "faith in a deed" and had indeed placed his name here as he was willing to do in other reviews.

Summary: Replete with historical facts and anecdotes
Comment: Henry David Thoreau is perhaps the most famous of the nineteenth century American naturalists and left behind a large body of work that is still very much read and appreciated today. Walking With Thoreau comprises Thoreau's writings about his own hikes up nine New England mountains including the Wachusett and Greylock in Massachusetts; Kathahdin and Kineo in Maine; Wantastiquet, Fall Mountain, Washington, Lafayette, and Monadnock in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont. Thoreau expert William Howarth enhanced Walking With Thoreau with insightful commentaries for the contemporary reader replete with historical facts and anecdotes on Thoreau that are relevant to his tales of mountain experiences. Replete with specially drawn sate maps and day-by-day itineraries, Walking With Thoreau readily lends itself to anyone wishing to hike the same routes as were once taken by Thoreau. Walking With Thoreau is a "must" for all students of his work and writings, outdoor enthusiasts seeking to retrace the great man's steps, as well as armchair travelers with an appreciation for observant essays on hiking mountains in a bygone era.
