“Those Maine woods differ essentially from ours. There you are never reminded that the wilderness which you are threading is, after all, some villagers familiar wood-lot, some widows thirds, from which her ancestors have sledded fuel for generations, minutely described in some old deed which is recorded, of which the owner has got a plan, too, and old bound-marks may be found every forty rods, if you will search.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
