Happy Birthday to writer and philosopher Henry David Thoreau, who was born on July 12, 1817, in Concord, Massachusetts. This census record from 1850 shows Thoreau (line 33) living with his family in Concord. He died of tuberculosis at the age of 44 in 1862. Which do you think it is Thoreau’s most important work: his essay “Civil Disobedience” or his book “Walden Pond”?
