the Thoreau Log.
29 November 1860. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Get up my boat, 7 A.M. Thin ice of the night is floating down the river. I hear that some boys went on to Goose Pond on the 26th and skated. It must have been thin.

  P.M.—To Fair Haven Hill.

  The Bear Garden pitch pines are so generally open that young pitch pines of all sizes are intermixed with the others. There are many small white pines beside, but few if any seed-bearing ones.

  I proceed through Potter’s young wood south of this grove (toward Fair Haven Hill-side) and here I find by the stumps what I remember . . .

(Journal, 14:279-284)
