This brilliant account of Thoreau’s four trips to Cape Cod is often still considered the best book ever written about the area. Chronicling a fatal shipwreck, encounters with the ocean, explorations, and settlement, as well as Thoreau’s reflections on the pilgrims’ landing, Cape Cod has become known as the nautical Walden.
