Princeton, Princeton University Press, (2004). First thus, with an introduction by John McPhee. A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers was Thoreau's first book, which he self-published in 1849. In 2003, McPhee retraced Thoreau's journey in a canoe, a journey he recounts here, contrasting it with Thoreau's trip, in his 37 page introduction. Fine in wrappers. [#035875] SOLD
