Henry David Thoreau, Cape Cod

- First published in 1865, Cape Cod is a narrative journey told by New England's native son.

- This reprinting was produced in 1951 and includes delightfully nautical pen and ink illustrations by Henry B. Kane, added footnotes, and, for the first time, Thoreau's Journal account of his final visit to The Cape in June of 1857.

- We love this excerpt from the book's original jacket: "Down on Cape Cod, Thoreau walked with an eye cocked for the unique. It is all here-- the great beach and the windswept dunes, the tall cliffs and the ever-rolling sea and screaming gulls. The moods of these idyllic New England seasons--the fall of the year and the new spring of the year--were his to feel and reflect on in unforgettable prose. Here the perceptive reader may relish a particular Thoreauvian excursion."

- Book is in good vintage condition, with some wear to the jacket, primarily weathering on the blue ground and a small water stain on the top right of the back cover. Protective plastic jacket included; please see our detailed photos.
