A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers
- A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers
"A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers" is a book by Henry David Thoreau, first published in 1849. The book is ostensibly the narrative of a boat trip from Concord, Massachusetts to Concord, New Hampshire and back Thoreau had taken with his brother John in 1839. As John had died in 1842, Thoreau wrote the book as a tribute to his memory.
Its first draft was completed while Thoreau lived at Walden Pond. Upon completing the book, Thoreau was unable to find a publisher willing to publish it, and so had it published at his own expense. The book failed to sell, and Thoreau was left with several hundred extra copies, and put into debt. A slightly revised version of the book, based on corrections Thoreau had made himself, was published in 1868, six years after his death.
