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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntimate, entertaining, and beautifully crafted, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eSix Walks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a resounding tribute to the ways walking in nature can inspire us all.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shopthetrustees.org\/pages\/store-faq\" aria-describedby=\"a11y-new-window-message\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLearn about our online store policies here.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WW Norton Publisher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41552363356220,"sku":"1TR23002","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0296\/3105\/3884\/files\/719vO45wd7L._SL1200_sixwalks.jpg?v=1774630059","url":"https:\/\/shopthetrustees.org\/products\/six-walks-in-the-footsteps-of-henry-david-thoreau","provider":"The Trustees","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
