Two institutions of New England, our fall colors and Henry David Thoreau, are brought back together in this posthumously published rumination on Nature. This is Thoreau's classic essay on the colors of New England fall.
American author, naturalist, philosopher, and leading transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) is best known for his book Walden and his essay Civil Disobedience. His lasting contributions to American literature focus on natural history, self-sufficient living, and individuality.
