the Thoreau Log.
3 January 1848. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau lectures on “An Excursion to Ktaadn” at the Unitarian Church for the Concord Lyceum (Studies in the American Renaissance, 1995, 152-153).

Concord, Mass. A. Bronson Alcott writes in his journal:

  Evening—Mrs. A. accompanied me to the Lyceum where we heard a lecture from Thoreau on a jaunt of his to Kotarden, the highest mountain in Maine.—The lecture drew a lively picture of these wild scenes and of his adventure in ascending the rivers to reach the summit of Kotarden.
