Description

For 26 years, he *was* Thoreau. Now, the man who brought the legendary writer to life at Walden Pond is hanging up his straw hat. Discover the surprising story of Richard Smith, the punk rocker turned Thoreau impersonator, his unique connection to the philosopher, and why he's finally stepping out of the cabin after a remarkable run of debunking myths, inspiring thousands, and battling the Massachusetts heat in a scratchy frock coat.
