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, a comparison of Christianity and Hinduism, Vedic literature, government and conscience, Thoreau’s philosophy of literature, monuments and graveyards, poetry (in particular Ossian, Chaucer, and certain minor Greek poets), and the satires of Aulus Persius Flaccus. Thoreau also includes several poems of his own. Thoreau had the first edition of this book published at his own expense, and at first it struggled to find an audience. “I have now a library of nearly 900 volumes,” he remarked at one point, “over 700 of which I wrote myself.”

At length, on Saturday, the last day of August, 1839, we two, brothers, and natives of Concord, weighed anchor in this river port; for Concord, too, lies under the sun, a port of entry and departurefor the bodies as well as the souls of men; one shore at least exempted from all duties but such as anhonest man will gladly discharge. A warm drizzling rain had obscured the morning, and threatenedto delay our voyage, but at length the leaves and grass were dried, and it came out a mild afternoon, as serene and fresh as if Nature were maturing some greater scheme of her own. After this longdripping and oozing from every pore, she began to respire again more healthily than ever. So with avigorous shove we launched our boat from the bank, while the flags and bulrushes courtesied aGod-speed, and dropped silently down the stream.Our boat, which had cost us a week's labor in the spring, was in form like a fisherman's dory, fifteen feet long by three and a half in breadth at the widest part, painted green below, with a borderof blue, with reference to the two elements in which it was to spend its existence. It had been loadedthe evening before at our door, half a mile from the river, with potatoes and melons from a patchwhich we had cultivated, and a few utensils, and was provided with wheels in order to be rolledaround falls, as well as with two sets of oars, and several slender poles for shoving in shallow places, and also two masts, one of which served for a tent-pole at night; for a buffalo-skin was to be ourbed, and a tent of cotton cloth our roof. It was strongly built, but heavy, and hardly of better modelthan usual. If rightly made, a boat would be a sort of amphibious animal, a creature of two elements, related by one half its structure to some swift and shapely fish, and by the other to some strongwinged and graceful bird. The fish shows where there should be the greatest breadth of beam anddepth in the hold; its fins direct where to set the oars, and the tail gives some hint for the form andposition of the rudder. The bird shows how to rig and trim the sails, and what form to give to theprow that it may balance the boat, and divide the air and water best. These hints we had but partiallyobeyed. But the eyes, though they are no sailors, will never be satisfied with any model, howeverfashionable, which does not answer all the requisitions of art. However, as art is all of a ship but thewood, and yet the wood alone will rudely serve the purpose of a ship, so our boat, being of wood, gladly availed itself of the old law that the heavier shall float the lighter, and though a dull waterfowl, proved a sufficient buoy for our pu

In 1849, Thoreau published his first book, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. The actual voyage was performed by the two brothers Henry and John in the late summer of 1839 in a boat of their own making, "painted green below with a border of blue, with reference to the two elements in which it was to spend its existence." During his Walden retirement, Thoreau worked over the original record of his pleasant outing, expanding it greatly by the inclusion of very various material, and had it published at his own risk by Monroe in 1849. It was the year of the Argonauts, of the gold-rush to California, and such literary treasure as the odd book contained was not much regarded. Though favourably reviewed by Ripley and by Lowell, it did not please the public, and over seven hundred copies out of an impression of one thousand were thrown back on the author's hands. It is another of the paradoxes of Thoreau's career that since his death, this failure has been edited with almost benedictine care.
