Cape Cod, Henry David Thoreau

Cape Cod, Henry David Thoreau, first published in 1865; $16, full price from Yellow Umbrella bookstore in Chatham, Cape Cod.

This book is the kick-off point for a several page article on Henry David Thoreau: "Pond Scum: Henry David Thoreau's moral myopia" by Kathryn Schulz, The New Yorker, October 19, 2015. Other than being a new staff writer for The New Yorker, nothing else is said about her. But she got Thoreau exactly right: a hypocrite.
