the Thoreau Log.
23 October 1860. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Anthony Wright tells me that he cut a pitch pine on Damon’s land between the Peter Haynes road and his old farm, about ’41, in which he counted two hundred and seventeen rings, which was therefore older than Concord, and one of the primitive forest . . .

  Melvin thinks that a fox would not on an average weigh more than ten pounds . . .

(Journal, 14:167-168)
