"Meticulously researched, brimming with energy and wit, it admirably fills an omission that previous biographies have been content to skip over." --Jerry Dennis, author, The Living Great Lakes: Searching for the Heart of the Inland Seas "In her superbly written and researched book, she takes us to the places where Thoreau went and describes them, then and now. In addition, she enriches each segment of their trip with her own 'Thoreauvian adventure,' which reveals fascinating connections with Thoreau and others, from Frank Lloyd Wright in Wisconsin to lilacs on Michigan's Mackinac Island." --J. Parker Huber, author, The Wildest Country: Exploring Thoreau's Maine "Corinne H. Smith has woven a complex tapestry of history, biography, and acute observation that would delight the sage of Walden Pond." --David K. Leff, author, Deep Travel: In Thoreau's Wake on the Concord and Merrimack
