Henry David Thoreau Moves to Walden Pond

On July 4th, 1845, Henry David Thoreau moves into a 10x15-foot house on the northern shore of Walden Pond. He fills his days tending to his garden, walking in the woods, and most of all, writing. He takes detailed notes on the nature that surrounds him and studies Greek, Roman, and Buddhist literature. But, Thoreau also practices doing nothing and seeing the beauty in staying still.
