Professor of Literature Elise Lemire Tours Walden Woods on PBS
The award-winning series Windows to the Wild explores what life for Thoreau was really like in Walden Woods.
In this episode of Windows to the Wild, she provides insight into the forgotten inhabitants of Walden Woods—beyond its best-known resident Henry David Thoreau—such as Brister Freeman, a former slave who finds freedom following the American Revolution, and other societal outcasts.
