Wild fruits : Thoreau's rediscovered last manuscript
(Book)

Map on lining papers. "Wild Fruits presents Thoreau's sacramental vision of nature - a vision compelling in part because it grew out of an approach to the natural world at once scientific and mystical... This work may be considered Thoreau's last will and testament, in which he protests our desecration of the landscape, reflects on the importance of preserving wild spaces "for instruction and recreation," and envisions a new American scripture." -- dust cover. Includes bibliographical references (p. 377-385) and index.
