"Some have thought that the first human pair were tempted by its fruit. Goddesses are fabled to have contended for it, dragons were set to watch it, and heroes were employed to pluck it." -Henry David Thoreau, Wild Apples: The History of the Apple Tree (1862)

Wild Apples: The History of the Apple Tree (1862) by Henry David Thoreau was first published posthumously in the November 1862 edition of The Atlantic Monthly. The writing reflects Thoreau's passion for nature and philosophy as he documents the apple through its history, myth, and variety in the New England landscape. Written in the same vein as Walden (1854) the reader will relish in Thoreau's rich descriptions of the apple and its correlation to humanity. This is a must-read for all who love nature, philosophy, and Thoreau.
