The article focuses on the book "Thoreau of Walden," by Henry Beetle Hough. Author Hough gives a nimble and detailed account of writer Henry David Thoreau's family life, travels, friendships, attempts at making a living and occasional challenges to social order. Since no biography of Thoreau can give a fair impression of the man without quoting his own sturdy language, Hough often has recourse to quotations. Thoreau did not tell all the facts about his life, but he had the last word, in advance, on most subjects that interested him.
