The author of On Civil Disobedience, Thoreau stayed at a cabin on the shore of Walden Pond for over two years starting in the summer of 1845.Walden Pond audio tour This was done to better understand society, by living off of the land with few material possessions, experimenting on being truly self-reliant. Some of his works were published by Ticknor and Fields, based out of the Old Corner Bookstore in Boston.Placard at Old Corner Bookstore: "The Old Corner Bookstore was originally built as an apothecary after the devastating Great Fire of 1711. Originally the land belonged to Anne Hutchinson, the controversial puritan who was excommunicated and banished from Massachusetts for her "heretical" beliefs and sermons. During the mid-nineteenth century, the Old Corner Bookstore was the home of the leading American publisher Ticknor and Fields. They published the works of such luminaries as Charles Dickens, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Henry Dave Thoreau. Many of those were frequent visitors to the site."
In 2287, two members of a raider gang named Tweez and Bear headquartered at Walden Pond discussed his theories to the best of their ability, and companions will comment on the author in front of the pond.
