Walden

WaldenAt Walden Pond, on July 4, 1845, Henry David Thoreau began a two-year experiment in simple living. Although his goal was multipurpose, his focus was to escape the routine 9 to 5, 6 days a week work regime, so he would have more time to write and to further his knowledge and understanding of Transcendentalism. While living there in his two-year residency in a cabin on land given to him by his transcendentalist mentor and fellow author Ralph Waldo Emerson, he had time for introspection to glean a better understanding of the relationship between society and nature and reason out how he could best fit in. Besides living a life of solitude during his 2 year Walden residency and writing Walden, Thoreau occasionally did surveying and even worked awhile in a pencil factory; he even spent a night in jail for refusing to pay taxes. Some 17 years after leaving Walden, on May 6, 1862, at age 44, Thoreau succumbed to Tuberculous and died; a disease he had sporadically battled for a decade since contacting it in 1835.
