Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau (July 12, 1817 – May 6, 1862) was an American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, historian, transcendentalist writer, and philosopher who inhabited a cabin at Walden Pond for two years, two months, and two days in the summer of 1845.

Background
One of the leaders of the transcendentalism movement, Thoreau stayed at his cabin for two years, two months, and two days in an attempt to gain a better understanding of society and self-reliance. His experiment exemplified his views of the irrelevance of material possessions in achieving happiness, publishing Walden; or, Life in the Woods from the experience. His essay Resistance to Civil Government (Civil Disobedience) – an argument for disobedience to an unjust state, also survived the War.
