Thoreau's Maine Woods

About 150 years ago the famous author Henry David Thoreau (of Walden Pond fame) traveled on a number of trips to northern Maine and wrote of those experiences. These writings were collected and became known as a collection of essays called "The Maine Woods". A non-profit group, called "Maine Woods Forever", has produced a map detailing Thoreau's three expeditions in Northern Maine.
