Arguably some of Thoreau's most beautiful writings on American history and natural scenery, his 19th-century collection of poetical ruminations written while walking the length of Cape Cod inspires me to re-create some of those walks in 2016.

"Exploring the variety of natural life and human interests that have intersected on the Cape, Thoreau brings the richness of its history and natural beauty to life with his poetic, and occasionally outlandish, musings."
