A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers published in 1849 (and revised in 1868) _ Plus: Biography of Henry David Thoreau.

The story is based on childhood memories when in 1839, Thoreau and his brother took a small boat upriver and back. Some years later, while in his cabin at Walden Pond, he gathered his notes from that journey and other writings from his journals, and composed this, his first book.

Like the rivers it describes, the book meanders through varying territories and climates. He writes of the natural surroundings they encounter and of the history of the region, but also takes long and remarkable detours through topics like friendship, history.
