Thoreau lives at Walden Pond for two years, where he writes two books, travels to Maine, and gets arrested in an act of civil disobedience.
Living at his cabin at Walden Pond, Thoreau finds solace in "wild" nature and pours himself into his journal, laying the groundwork for one of two books he writes there. His two-year stay includes regular trips to town, a transformative journey to Maine, and a night in jail in protest of a government that permits slavery—experiences that redefine his understanding of freedom.
