This is kind of fascinating. I’d venture to say that most folks about Henry David Thoreau and his famed cabin near Walden pond. What I find interesting, though is if the goal is to “rebel” against the reliance of modern-ism (for that time era, anyway) - how did he build that home? Where’d he get the glass? The brick? The shingles? What hinges were made for the door?
That kind of thing always fascinates me. Here’s a bit more:
“Henry David Thoreau’s works have strong underpinnings of Science, Technology and Society. For those unfamiliar with the text, his most famous work, Walden, is Thoreau’s personal doctrine of the rejection of modern technology in search of the simplicity of rural life. For two years, Thoreau went off the grid, to use the parlance of our times, and lived in a small cabin near Walden pond in Concord Massachusetts. During this hiatus from society, Thoreau mused about the attractiveness of a simple life, avoiding of taxes, self reliance and problems with contemporary society. Here is a recreation of the cabin that Thoreau lived in, see the resemblance to Mr. Kaczynski’s dwelling in Montana?”
