Entries marked with two asterisks (**) are provisional and under construction. They all make reference to Walden Woods and/or Walden Pond, but each needs verification, proofreading, and/or styling. Most of them derive from the endnotes of Thomas Blanding, “Historic Walden Woods,” The Concord Saunterer, Volume 20, Numbers 1 and 2, pages 1 to 74 (December 1988), which source is hereby explicitly acknowledged. As they are verified and styled to make them consistent with that of the Bibliography they will become integral entries of the Bibliography and the double asterisks removed.

It was very dark when we reached Fairhaven Cliff and Bolles began hooting like a Barred Owl. I followed with a feeble imitation of the Great-horned Owl which, after a few minutes and to my infinite surprise, was answered by Bubo himself from the tall pines on the west bank of the river. We stopped paddling, of course, and I continued the conversation in the best Owl language that I could command. Bubo was prompt in his responses and presently appeared directly over our heads—a great shadowy bird with broad wings and big head, flapping at first, then sailing as majestically as an Eagle, finally descending in a series of undulations to the low trees on the shore of the Cliff landing. More Owl talk and Bubo soon on his way back to the pines, evidently sorely puzzled and speedily impelled to repeat the flight which he made three times each way, in all, passing over us each time (page 23).
At 2 p.m. we started through the woods for Walden [Pond]. It was a walk to be long remembered. I think I have never before seen oak woods so richly colored as these—painted woods—wine-red the dominant tint. The scarlet oaks were steeped with this color and the undergrowth of huckleberry bushes seemed to reflect it, as the scarlet of the maples along the river was reflected by the water a week or more ago. Of course these huckleberry bushes were really of the same color as the oaks. In places they formed a rich unbroken carpet which covered the ground as far as the eye could reach under the trees. . .

The results of a classic study of the sea breeze, undertaken by the New England Meteorological Society during the summer of 1887 with a network of 130 observers in southeastern New Hampshire and eastern Massachusetts, including two observers (F. M. Holland and N. M. Bush) in Concord, one (Charles W. Jenks) in Bedford, one (Greenwood K. Oliver) at Kendal Green, one (M. Herbert Saunderson) in Waltham, and one (B. F. Howe) in Sudbury. In their concluding remarks (page 257), the authors state that the sea breeze “reaches the shore commonly between eight and eleven o’clock in the forenoon with a velocity of ten or fifteen miles an hour; its velocity rapidly diminishes inland. Its inland advance from the shore-line is made at first at a rate of from three to eight miles and hour, but slower afterwards when approaching its greatest penetration of ten or twenty miles in the late afternoon.” On June 7, “the sea-breeze travelled inland beyond Boston; Waltham was on the dividing line and experienced a calm during the whole afternoon, and west of that station a uniformly southwesterly wind prevailed, both winds being weak. In the same way the records of June 17th show the breeze to have advanced to Waltham, but beyond here the westerly winds were prevalent” (page 242). The sea breeze did not often reach inland as far as Walden Woods.

Endnote 29: The pickerel of Walden, now [1917] nearly, if not quite extinct, who lived in that pure water supplied by springs at the bottom, were quite different from those of the sluggish and more weedy river, with its darker water. The latter seemed of less delicate lines, and were of a dark, more muddy green, while the Walden pickerel were more silvery, and the green, as I recall it, was very pure, light and iridescent.

Hanley, Wayne. Geologist thinks Walden Pond born almost as Indians thought. Boston Sunday Herald, January 15, 1956, page 40, columns 1 through 5 (top).
Hanley quotes the geologist, Joseph Hartshorn, as saying, “Walden Pond could have been a high hill, covered with an earth crust and supporting growing trees. And it could have collapsed into a pond, because the heart of the hill would have been a huge ice pocket left by the glacier. When the ice melted, the thin earth crust would have sunk to become the bottom of Walden Pond.”

George Hunt Barton (1852–1933) of Sudbury, Mass., a member of the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and president of the Appalachian Mountain Club, conducted geological investigations in the Concord area during the 1880s and 1890s. References in his Diary to geological phenomena and sites in Walden Woods appear, inter alia, in the following volumes: Volume for November 1, 1883–October 31, 1885, pages 270 and 271: iron concretions in Sandy Pond; Volume for January 1, 1888–April 30, 1890, pages 171 and 172, entry for April 17, 1889: meeting of the Boston Society of Natural History at which Barton read a paper entitled, “A Preliminary Paper on the [Glacial] Drift in Portions of Middlesex County, Mass.”; Volume for May 1, 1890–June 8, 1892, page 105, entry for February 18, 1891: mention of a “[Boston Society of] N[atural]. H[istory]. meeting . . . at which Mr. [Warren] Upham read a paper on Lake Walden as a type of Glacial Lakes [sic] . . . .” This was no doubt Upham’s paper, “Walden, Cochituate, and Other Lakes Enclosed by Modified Drift,” the first scientific paper to deal with Walden’s glacial geology, which was published in the Society’s Proceedings in 1891; Volume for May 1, 1890–June 8, 1892, page 279, entry for May 28, 1892: “photographed the glacial channel in the sand plain connecting Walden Pond and the Sudbury River, then climbed to top of Fairhaven Cliffs, and then back down to the rail road where we took photo’s of the sand sections. . . .” [The MIT Museum has a number of Barton’s glass slides, some of which may be of geological phenomena in Walden Woods.]; and Volume for November 1, 1897–October 31, 1900, page 48, entry for May 6, 1898: field trip to, among other places, “Walden Pond Sand plain[,] Fairhaven Bluffs[,] Walden [Pond,] and Baker’s Bridge.”

Thoreau, Henry D. “Moonlight Papers.”**
“Thoreau’s ‘Moonlight’ papers, describing his moonlight walks in Concord, are among his most problematical manuscripts. They were first copie[d] from his Journal in 1854, in the months just after Walden was published, and delivered as a lecture at Plymouth, Massachusetts, on October 8, 1854, under the title, ‘Moonlight.’ Thoreau writes near the beginning of his lecture, ‘Will you accompany me in imagination in a walk thro’ the fields to a bridge over the river a couple of miles SW of the village of Concord—returning by a high rocky hill called Fair Haven Hill & Cliff’ (University of Texas, Austin). Thoreau’s lecture is set principally in Walden Woods, describing a walk from Bear Garden Hill to Baker Farm, returning past the Cliff to the village. Thoreau reworked his text in 1859 to 1860 under the title ‘The Moon’ and probably returned to the again before his death in 1862. From this assortment of manuscripts two posthumous, nonauthorial texts were edited. The first, ‘Night and Moonlight,’ was prepared (according to scholarly consensus) by Thoreau’s sister Sophia and his friend Ellery Channing. It was first published in the Atlantic Monthly for November 1863 and in Thoreau’s Excursions that same fall. In 1927, Francis Allen prepared a longer text which he published as The Moon. Both ‘Night and Moonlight’ and The Moon are nonauthorial in their selection and arrangement of Thoreau’s text. Both contain passages describing Bear Garden without naming it. These works are best treated as amalgams of extracts from Thoreau’s manuscripts. The greater part of Thoreau’s lecture survives, however, to show that Bear Garden Hill is a featured site and is mentioned by name. In eight pages which describe Thoreau’s approach to Bear Garden and his walk there, he writes, ‘The wind now rising from over Bear Garden Hill falls gently on my ear & delivers its message, the same that I have so often heard passing over bare & stony mt tops’ (Alderman Library, University of Virginia, Charlottesville). And in another lecture passage Thoreau writes, ‘I reach Bear Garden Hill. These dry hills & pastures are the places to walk by moonlight’ (John Hay Library, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island).” —Thomas Blanding. Historic Walden Woods.

† A NOTE ON THE AVAILABILITY OF HISTORIC WEATHER DATA FOR THE WALDEN WOODS (CONCORD–LINCOLN) AREA: This bibliography contains entries for published and/or manuscript sources of historic weather data for towns contiguous with Concord and/or Lincoln (viz., Waltham, Lexington, Bedford, Acton, Wayland, Sudbury, and Weston) and, on a selective basis, for sites within ten miles of those towns. The Index of Meteorological Observations in the United States, from the Earliest Records to January, 1890, Compiled in the Records Division of the Signal Office . . . (Washington, D. C.: United States Signal Office, 1891), pages “Mass. 2” and “Mass. 3,” lists the following two series of weather observations for Concord: temperature for January–April 1806, and temperature and precipitation for January 1885–March 1888. The former records were in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution at the time (1891) but apparently have been lost (the Smithsonian, in its catalog ; the latter have not been located. There are weather data for the following places in the vicinity of Walden Woods: Boston (year–year), Cambridge (year–year), Watertown (year–year), Waltham (year–year), Saxonville (Framingham) (year–year), Framingham (year–year), Bedford (year–year), and Stow (year–year).
