*Henry David Thoreau -- "Civil Disobedience"
 Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) exerted a profound, enduring influence on American thought and literature. His famous experiment in living close to nature and his equally famous night in jail to protest an inhuman institution and an unjust war are articulated in his best known works, Walden and "Civil Disobedience."

Henry David Thoreau was born on July 12, 1817 in Concord, Massachusetts.
One of America's most famous writers, Henry David Thoreau is remembered for his philosophical and naturalist writings.  He became known for his beliefs in Transcendentalism and civil disobedience and was a dedicated abolitionist.
