Thoreau gives an account of three canoe and hiking journeys - by himself and with others - through the mostly uninhabited forests of Maine in the 1850s.

Identifying birds, trees and plants by their botanical as well as their common names, he also records the Indian names of lakes, rivers and plants. He investigates the connections between waterways and trails, and provides detail on camping, fishing and hunting in the woods, using whatever is at hand.

Extolling the beauty of the wilds that he encounters, Thorough’s narrative is also imbued with elements of his philosophy.

A very good documentary, detailed, and fairly fast paced. However, I believe it will be more enjoyable if the listener is familiar with some of the Maine lakes, streams, and landmarks. Otherwise it will feel a little bit repetitive. There are many nuggets here of history and wisdom. I found it easier to listen more frequently but in shorter doses.

The narrator is mechanical! I fell asleep many times and had to go back. Asleep, asleep …..

I love the outdoors and enjoy how people innovate and endure the elements.
