the Thoreau Log.
16 June 1857. Manomet, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  7A.M.—I go along the sandy road through a region of small hills about half a mile from the sea, between slight gray fences either post and rail, or slanting rails, a foot apart, rest ing on two crossed stakes, the rails of unequal length, looking agreeably loose and irregular.

  Within half a mile I come to the house of an Indian, a gray one-storied cottage, and there were two or three more beyond. They were just beginning to build a meeting-house to-day! . . .

(Journal, 9:425)
