AUTHORS: Henry David Thoreau |
 |
| Henry Thoreau was born in 1817, in
Concord, Massachusetts. He began grammar school
when he was 11, and in 1833 attended Harvard
College for four years. He then taught at a
public school for two weeks, and then at a
private school. He began publishing poems and
essays in 1840. From 1845-1847 Thoreau was
staying at Walden Pond. In 1848, Walden returned
to his parents’ home, and continued living
with them for the rest of his life, while making
many trips to speak and give lectures over the
years. He continued to write and publish new
works. He died after a drawn out struggle with
tuberculosis in 1862, at the age of 44.
