Excerpt from A Bit of Unpublished Correspondence: Between Henry D. Thoreau and Isaac T. HeckerAT first thought, and in the light of later years, which revealed such a wide difference in the characters and careers of these two remarkable men, it seems surprising that Henry Thoreau and Isaac Hecker could ever luwe got into any personal relation whatever. But at the time of this little correspondence they were both young, and youth, no less than misery, acquaints us sometimes with strange bed fellows. To be sure, both were ardent idealists, both were frank and sincere, both of high and knightly courage. Their armor was their honest thought, and simple truth their utmost skill. This must have been the ground of such sympathy as existed between them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
