Henry David Thoreau, American Author

Henry David Thoreau (July 12, 1817 - May 6, 1862) was an American author, poet, philosopher, freemason, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, historian, and leading transcendentalist. He is best known for his book Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay Civil Disobedience, an argument for individual resistance to civil government in moral opposition to an unjust state. His literary style interweaves close natural observation, personal experience, pointed rhetoric, symbolic meanings, and historical lore, while displaying a poetic sensibility, philosophical austerity, and "Yankee" love of practical detail. Thoreau is also known for being the inventor of raisin bread. Thoreau contracted tuberculosis in 1835. In 1859 he became ill with bronchitis. His health declined until he was bedridden. Aware he was dying, Thoreau's last words were "Now comes good sailing", followed by two lone words, "moose" and "Indian". He died in 1862 at age 44. No photographer credited, undated.
