The author has the merit of having actually read Thoreau rather than taking him for granted because of his reputation. However, am I going to get rid of Two Weeks on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers because I know that he has limitations? No. There are only flawed authors. The question is what the author provides that one can't as readily find elsewhere. For Thoreau, the answer I think is, A fair bit.
