Cape Cod
by Henry David Thoreau
read by Patrick Cullen
Unabridged
This work, posthumously published in 1865 and edited by the younger W.E. Channing after chapters had been printed in Putnam’s Magazine (1855) and the Atlantic Monthly (1864), is based on the author’s experiences during three short visits to Cape Cod between 1849-1855.
Thoreau sought to describe the natural environment and people of "the bare and bended arm of Massachusetts." Included are ten essays on the history and character of the inhabitants, Nantucket, the sea, the beach, and other aspects of the Cape. |
