Henry David Thoreau\u2019s Cabin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Henry David Thoreau\u2019s cabin was built a mile and a half south of Concord, Massachusetts, near Walden Pond. He explains that he chose a spot situated in the middle of a forest of young pitch pines and hickories. He felled pines, salvaged building materials, dug a cellar, and (with the help of friends) built a 10-by-15-foot cabin. He furnished the cabin simply, with a bed, a desk, a table, three chairs, and a few small household items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: The passages of Walden<\/em> where Thoreau lists the materials he used to build his cabin have been compared to similar lists<\/a> in Robinson Crusoe<\/em><\/a> and Huckleberry Finn<\/em><\/a>. Such lists seem to highlight their writers\u2019 childlike sense of possibility. One writer notes that Thoreau\u2019s choice to build his cabin within walking distance of home might sound a bit reminiscent of a child going camping in his family\u2019s backyard. Perhaps that\u2019s not an inaccurate comparison: It\u2019s rumored that Thoreau\u2019s mother did his laundry, and scholars say he often ate dinner at her house<\/a>. He also continued to help run his family\u2019s pencil factory<\/a> during his time at Walden.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thoreau adds up all of the expenses associated with building and outfitting the cabin and finds that it cost him $28.12<\/strong>. That\u2019s less than the $30 it cost at the time to rent a room for a year in nearby Cambridge. (Shortform note: $30 in 1845 is equivalent to about $1,200 in 2023<\/a>. Thoreau\u2019s list of costs parodies similar lists<\/a> found in the house pattern books<\/a> popular at the time.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thoreau writes that he considered the construction costs a good investment because a well-built cabin provides shelter for many years. On July 4, 1845, he began living full time in the cabin, even though it wasn\u2019t finished yet. He continued to work on it after he moved to Walden, and he finished building the chimney and plastering the walls before winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: The land where Thoreau\u2019s cabin stood belonged to his mentor, philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson, who bought it spontaneously<\/a>. It wasn\u2019t valuable<\/a>\u2014Thoreau writes that each acre cost $8.08 (about $327<\/a> in 2023)\u2014because its soil was infertile. For that reason, it had been some of the only land offered to formerly enslaved people decades earlier. By the time Thoreau arrived, a village<\/a> that scholars call \u201cBlack Walden\u201d had come and gone: Formerly enslaved people built a settlement, but struggled to survive. In Black Walden<\/em><\/a>, Elise Virginia Lemire writes that the residents were only as free as society allowed them to be. They were punished for seeking a self-sufficiency more arduous than the kind Thoreau later pursued.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
