1. Ch1P1 Economy Reading & Commentary, plus a visit to Monument Square in Concord Center!
A reading of the first few pages of Walden, then a discussion of what Henry was talking about in his first few pages, and the strange townspeople he saw, weighed down by life. And then there is a visit to Monument Square in center of Concord. What’s with all those marble blocks in that patch of green? One of them is the jail site where Civil Disobedience was born. Yep, right near the parking lot for the hardware store. That's where Henry spent the night-in the middle of his stay at Walden, a jailhouse approximately the size of his cabin!
