xi, [1], 336 pp. 8vo. Black cloth with gilt titles and gold leaf decorations on spine, blind-stamped borders and wreath on front and rear boards. Thoreau's transcendentalist travel meditation, focused on Cape Cod Massachusetts. "Thoreau made excursions to the Maine woods, to Cape Cod, and to Canada, using his experiences on the trips as raw material for three series of magazine articles: 'Ktaadn [sic] and the Maine Woods,' in The Union Magazine (1848); 'Excursion to Canada,' in Putnam's Monthly (1853); and 'Cape Cod,' in Putnam's (1855). These works present Thoreau's zest for outdoor adventure and his appreciation of the natural environment that had for so long sustained his own spirit." - Britannica
