the Thoreau Log.
28 June 1856. New Bedford, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Lamium amplexicaule still out behind R.’s shanty. I picked up two arrowheads amid oyster and clam shells by a rock at the head of the creek opposite R.’s. One was of peculiar form . . .

  P. M.—I paddled up the Acushnet, about a mile above the paper-mill, as far as the ruined mill, in Walton’s [Walton Ricketson] skiff with Arthur [Arthur Ricketson] . . .

(Journal, 8:394)

Daniel Ricketson writes in his journal:

  Thoreau and Arthur went up the river botanizing (Daniel Ricketson and His Friends, 294).
