The Thoreau Society
Founded in 1941

Thoreau
Biographical essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Atlantic Monthly, August 1862 -- Emerson's Thoreau in two parts:  Part 1 - Part 2
-Emerson was a major influence and mentor for Thoreau; it was Emerson who loaned Henry a pond side property for the two year experiment that resulted in Walden. But as Thoreau grew, Emerson appears to not to have fully appreciated what was happening. He writes that "I cannot help counting it a fault in him that he had no ambition." -- apparently missing completely the enormity and originality of Thoreau's ambitions.
