After Walden, Thoreau works as a surveyor, scientist, and abolitionist, and travels to Cape Cod and Maine as a lifelong illness catches up with him.
After completing his two-year experiment at Walden Pond, Thoreau returns to society to test what he has learned about living responsibly. He undertakes new “experiments” as a surveyor, scientist, and abolitionist, and takes two more trips to Maine—uncovering even deeper truths about life and the world. He writes with a new urgency as a lifelong illness begins to catch up with him.
