the Thoreau Log.
11 September 1856. Walpole, N.H.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—Walked over what Alcott calls Farm Hill, east of his house.

  Erigeron annuus, four feet high, by roadside; also Ranaunculus Pennsylvanicus, or bristly crowfoot, still in bloom. Vide press. A fine view of the Connecticut valley from the hilltop, and of Aseutney Mountain, but not of Monadnock . . .

  In Alcott’s yard, sprung up from his bird’s seed, hemp, like common except fragrant . . .

(Journal, 9:77-80)
