What an Interesting fellow he was. His beat works included Walden (life In the woods), The Maine Woods, a Yankee in Canada, etc. Early in life, after graduation from Harvard, he resolved to simplify his way of living. He built a cabin, bought an axe, raised a garden, etc. For clothes he traded vegetables.
