Walking Towards Walden: A Pilgrimage in Search of Place (signed)
Addison Wesley Publishing Company, 1995. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Inscribed on the "Also by" page: "For Charles Colburn, see page 87, with best wishes, John Hanson Mitchell." Pages 87-90 detail an encounter and conversation on Hanson's 15-mile bushwack pilgrimage to Thoreau's grave with an old man on his longstanding family land along Nonset Brook in Concord, a character representative of those with deep attachments to this place. The implication of the inscription, we think, is that Charles Colburn is this man, as this book was acquired in Concord. If so, a neat book inscribed to one of its characters. Mitchell is a winner of the John Burroughs Medal for nature writing. Fine book in a very good, price-clipped jacket with some light foxing to edges of the rear flap only. We invite you to explore our growing collection of signed and inscribed books related to Thoreau. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. Fine / Very Good. Item #ABE-1681176113112
