Henry
David Thoreau lived from 1817 to 1862. The Boatman: Henry David Thoreau’s
River Years
covers the period of his life following the publication of Walden, when Thoreau found
himself more and more drawn to Concord’s three rivers (Sudbury, Assabet, & Concord), “the only wild and
unfenced part of the world hereabouts,” as he wrote, explaining his preference
for river scenery.
John
James Audubon: The Nature of the American Woodsman follows Audubon (1785
-1851) throughout his life--down rivers American rivers, into the woods, and to
cities in the United States and Europe—as he pursued his art and science along
with woodsman survival skills. Note: The author of this book, Gregory Nobles, will make a presentation
at Dog Ears Books on Thursday, August 3, at 7 p.m.
