the Thoreau Log.
30 August 1860. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Surveying Minott’s land.

  Am surprised to find on his hard land, where he once raised potatoes, the hairy huckleberry, which before I had seen in swamps only. Here, too, they are more edible, not so insipid, yet not quite edible generally. They are improved, you would say . . .

(Journal, 14:67-68)
