Description:An exciting book that takes travel writing to a new frontier ! Wouldn’t it be a great adventure, said kayak voyager Jim Payne, to copy a rowboat trip that famous naturalist and philosopher Henry David Thoreau took in 1839 on the Concord River?

As he connects with Thoreau’s place and time, Payne introduces Thoreau’s ideas, his thoughts on nature, consumerism, authority and religion. With uncanny coincidence, these themes come to life in Payne’s encounters with people and events in voyaging through Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
