Over a century and a half later, Ben Shattuck does the same. With little more than a loaf of bread, brick of cheese, and a notebook, Shattuck sets out to retrace Thoreau's path through the Cape's outer beaches, from the elbow to Provincetown's fingertip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the first of six journeys taken by Shattuck, each one inspired by a walk once taken by Henry David Thoreau. After the Cape, Shattuck goes up Mount Katahdin and Mount Wachusett, down the coastline of his hometown, and then through the Allagash. Along the way, Shattuck encounters unexpected characters, landscapes, and stories, seeing for himself the restorative effects that walking can have on a dampened spirit. Over years of following Thoreau, Shattuck finds himself uncovering new insights about family, love, friendship, and fatherhood, and understanding more deeply the lessons walking can offer through life's changing seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntimate, entertaining, and beautifully crafted, \u003cem\u003eSix Walks\u003c\/em\u003e is a resounding tribute to the ways walking in nature can inspire us all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tin House Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781953534040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2022 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ben Shattuck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52107807490229,"sku":"9781953534040","price":19.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_ab7e6ef5-b926-4ec6-ae0f-f007d63e87b6.jpg?v=1765862455","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/six-walks-in-the-footsteps-of-henry-david-thoreau-9781953534040","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
