the Thoreau Log.
15 May 1858. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  7.30 A.M.—Ride to the Shawsheen in the northeast of Bedford . . .

Measured two apple trees by the road from the middle of Bedford and Fitch’s mill. One, which divided at the ground, was thirteen and a half feet in circumference there, around the double trunk; but another, in a field on the opposite side of the road, was the most remarkable tree for size . . .

(Journal, 10:421-422)
