A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849) by Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) was first published in 1849. The book is an account of the Thoreau brothers' river journey on the Concord River from Concord to Lowell, Massachusetts, where it connects with the Merrimack River. Arranged in seven chapters, one for each day of the boat trip, the book describes the rivers, islets and inlets, the woods, the plants, animals, and the people that they encountered on the journey. There are frequent digressions and discussions on education, history, philosophy, science, literature, and religion. The narrative is interspersed with poetry, and Thoreau discusses writers like Homer, Shakespeare, and Goethe.
