![]() ![]() ![]() After the Cape, Shattuck goes up Mount Katahdin and Mount Wachusett, down the coastline of his hometown, and then through the Allagash. This is the first of six journeys taken by Shattuck, each one inspired by a walk once taken by Henry David Thoreau. With little more than a loaf of bread, brick of cheese, and a notebook, Shattuck sets out to retrace Thoreau’s path through the Cape’s outer beaches, from the elbow to Provincetown’s fingertip. Over a century and a half later, Ben Shattuck does the same. On an autumn morning in 1849, Henry David Thoreau stepped out his front door to walk the beaches of Cape Cod. “I think Thoreau would have liked this book, and that’s a high recommendation.” -Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature “A gorgeous reminder that walking is the most radical form of locomotion nowadays.” -Nick Offerman A New York Times Best Book of Summer, a Wall Street Journal and Town & Country Best Book of Spring ![]()
