Associated with the Concord-based literary movement called New England Transcendentalism, he embraced the Transcendentalist belief in the universality of creation, and the primacy of personal insight and experience. Thoreau's advocacy of simple, principled living remains compelling, while his writings on the relationship between people and the environment helped define the nature essay. After graduating from Harvard in 1837, Thoreau held a series of odd jobs. Encouraged by Concord neighbor and friend Ralph Waldo Emerson , he started publishing essays, poems, and reviews in the transcendentalist magazine The Dial . "A Natural History of Massachusetts," (1842) revealed his talent for writing about nature.

8. HENRY DAVID THOREAU HENRY DAVID THOREAU. In 1823, in For further reading Edward Wagenknecht, Henry David Thoreau What Manner of Man? (1981); K. Jack http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/facts/democrac/19.htm

HENRY DAVID THOREAU In 1823, in order to encourage immigration, the government of Mexico gave Stephen Austin a large grant of land, and Austin brought 300 families to settle north of the Rio Grande River. By 1835 the Austin colony had 20,000 settlers; an additional 15,000 Americans had also settled in other parts of Texas. Most of the settlers were from the South, and although slavery was contrary to Mexican law, the Americans brought their bondsmen with them. When the Mexican government under General Santa Ana tried to impose tighter control on the American colonies, they rebelled, and in 1836 proclaimed their independence. The Jackson administration recognized the Republic of Texas on March 3, 1837, but the new nation wanted to become part of the United States. All the settlers saw themselves as Americans, but because Texas allowed slavery, the North objected, and Texas became a bone of political contention. Both North and South believed that the "big country" could be divided into as many as five new slave states, an end fervently desired by the South and equally opposed by the North since it would upset the precarious balance between free and slave states. With the expansionists unable to secure a majority in the Congress, the issue hung fire for several years while thousands of southerners, ruined by the Panic of 1837, emigrated to Texas, bringing their slaves with them. Finally, at the end of the Tyler administration, a simple majority in Congress, employing the sham1 that Texas had once been part of the United States, voted to "re-annex" Texas. But a number of issues remained to be resolved, including fixing the boundary between Texas and Mexico. Moreover, the new president, James K. Polk, had been elected on an expansionist platform, and he lost no time in provoking a war with Mexico.

Poem of the Day Archive Henry David Thoreau In 1846 Thoreau chose to go to jail rather than to support the Mexican War (1846-1848) by paying his poll tax. He clarified his position in perhaps his most famous essay, "Civil Disobedience" (1849), now widely referred to by its original title, "Resistance to Civil Government." In this essay Thoreau discussed passive resistance, a method of protest that later was adopted by Indian leader Mohandas Gandhi as a tactic against the British, and by civil rights activists fighting racial segregation in the United States. The edited collections of Thoreau's writings include Excursions (1863), which contains the well-known essay "Walking" The Maine Woods (1864); Cape Cod (1865); and A Yankee in Canada (1866). In 1993 Faith in a Seed appeared, a previously unpublished collection of Thoreau's natural-history writings featuring the essay "The Dispersion of Seeds."

Henry David Thoreau Unjust laws exist: shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavour to amend them, and obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once. Henry David Thoreau I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with freedom and culture merely civil, - to regard man as an inhabitant, or part and parcel of Nature, rather than a member of a society. Henry David Thoreau I heartily accept the motto - 'That government is best which governs least;' and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out it finally amounts to this, which also I believe, - 'That government is best which governs not at all' .....

13. Henry David Thoreau Henry David Thoreau, 1817 1862. Henry David Thoreau was a writer, philosopher, and naturalist who was born and lived in Concord, Massachusetts. http://www.alcott.net/alcott/home/champions/Thoreau.html

Henry David Thoreau Henry David Thoreau was a writer, philosopher, and naturalist who was born and lived in Concord, Massachusetts . From 1841 to 1843, he resided in the home of essayist and Transcendental philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson . He had a lifelong friendship and association with Emerson, who introduced him to other writers and nonconformist thinkers who were making Concord the center of new ideas. Among them were Amos Bronson Alcott W. Ellery Channing Margaret Fuller , and Nathaniel Hawthorne . Essentially a philosopher of individualism, Thoreau placed nature above materialism in private life and ethics above conformity in politics. He published essays, poems, and reviews in various magazines, including the Dial , whose editorship he assumed briefly in 1843 when Emerson was away. In 1845, in what has become a much-celebrated experiment, Thoreau built and lived in a crude hut on the shore of Walden Pond. Here he devoted his time to studying nature, meditating on philosophical problems, reading classic literature, and holding long conversations with his neighbors. By no means a hermit, he frequently walked to the village, entertained visitors at his house, and hired himself out as a surveyor. After his Walden experience, Thoreau plied his skills as a surveyor to earn what little money he needed for the things that he could not "grow or make or do without." He spent his free time walking, studying, and writing. Like John Muir , Thoreau derived inspiration and spiritual sustenance from exploring the wilderness and was quite adept and inventive at woodcraft. He lectured at the Concord Lyceum and elsewhere in New England, and once traveled as far west as Philadelphia. He became increasingly involved with social and political issues, often speaking out against economic injustice and slavery. In 1846, following Alcott's example, he chose to go to jail rather than support the Mexican War (1846 - 1848) by paying his poll tax. Thoreau clarified his position in his essay "Civil Disobedience" (1849), in which he also discussed passive resistancea method of protest that later was adopted by Indian leader Mohandas Gandhi as well as by civil rights activists in the United States. At the age of 44, the "self-appointed inspector of snowstorms" died of tuberculosis.

Ecology Hall of Fame Henry David Thoreau Ecology Hall of Fame Thoreau Biography Extracts ... Web Links Thoreau earned his place in history and in The Ecology Hall of Fame on July 4, 1845, when he moved to Walden Pond, "to live deliberately." Over the past century and a half, millions have read his musings on his life there and been inspired. That day defined his life. His time at Walden, slightly over two years, demonstrated the natural harmony that was possible when a thinking man went to live simply, reading books, writing in his diary, cultivating his beans, and walking in the woods. The message that comes through most clearly from the pages of Walden is that this is, itself, a "Hero's journey." During his life, Thoreau was little known outside his small social and intellectual circle. Yet his reputation as a prophet for ecological thought and the value of wilderness, born at Walden, now grows with each passing year. He articulated the idea that humans are part of nature and that we function best, as individuals and societies, when we are concious of that fact.
