Early Spring in Massachusetts: From the Journal of Henry David Thoreau (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781646794904)

"We perceive and are affected by changes too subtle to be described."

- Henry David Thoreau, Early Spring in Massachusetts (1881)

Early Spring in Massachusetts: From the Journal of Henry D. Thoreau (1881) is the compilation of the insightful observations of nature Thoreau made during the months of February through April from 1841-1859. Rather than following a yearly chronological organization, the naturalist and philosopher organized the journal by month to give the reader an in-depth view of Massachusetts in springtime. This work, selected by scholars as culturally important to understanding this period in history, is a must-read for lovers of Thoreau's Walden (1854) and nature.
