American wilderness perspectives

Henry David Thoreau


* Walden Pond
* Transcendentalist
* He said wilderness should be preserved
* Civil Disobedience
* Individualism
(I never found the companion that was
so companionable as solitude. (Walden,
135)
the man who goes alone can start today;
but he who travels with another must
wait till that other is ready (Walden, 72))
* Materialism

I see young men, my townsmen, whose misfortune it is to have


inherited farms, houses, barns, cattle, and farming tools; for these are
more easily acquired than got rid of. Better if they had been born in the
open pasture and suckled by a wolf, that they might have seen with
clearer eyes what field they were called to labor in. (Walden, 5)
* Technology and Progress
perhaps we are led oftener by the love of novelty, and a regard for the
opinions of men, in procuring it, than by a true utility. (Walden, 21)

* Nature
Love of nature is the religion and spirituality.
