the Thoreau Log.
6 July 1856. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—To Assabet Bath.

  Campanula aparinoides, roadside opposite centaurea, several days. Early low blueberries ripe.

  Crossed the river at bath place. On the sandy bank opposite, saw a wood tortoise voraciously eating sorrel leaves, under my face. In A. Hosmer’s ice-bared meadow south of Turnpike, hear the distressed or anxious peet of a peetweet . . .

(Journal, 8:401)
