Coles Thoreau-Wabanaki Trail Map and Guide at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

The Thoreau-Wabanaki Trail commemorates Henry David Thoreau's journeys and the Penobscot Indians who guided him into the "backwoods of Maine" and deepened his understanding of their vast homeland. Thoreau spent the final months of his life preparing these essays for publication, and his dying words were "Indian" and "moose"-references to his Maine experience. Thoreau was not just another Maine tourist. His three essays, published posthumously as The Maine Woods in 1864, represent American nature writing at its finest. At a time when most Americans celebrated the conquest of nature as Manifest Destiny, Thoreau plumbed its spiritual qualities here in Maine. "In Wildness is the preservation of the World," he once said, and since the Maine woods was the wildest country he ever explored, it might well be considered the birthplace of the wilderness idea in America. ?
