Includes the first appearance in a volume of Thoreau’s writings of "Civil Disodedience," which, "through its impact on Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., the anti-Nazi movement in Europe in the 1940s, and anti–Vietnam War protesters in the 1970s, has had a wider political influence than any other American literary document" (ANB).
