Thoreau's Journal is rich in comments on the people he met and talked with in his daily walks -- farmers, fishermen, laborers, loafers, to say nothing of such friends as Emerson, Alcott, and Channing. Francis H. Allen, author of the Thoreau Bibliography and co-editor of the Walden Edition of the Complete Works, has made a selection of these intimate portraits and N.C. Wyeth (for many years a student and admirer of Thoreau) has created a series of illustrative paintings to accompany them, which are reproduced in full color. The result is a book that shows Thoreau in a new light as a man among men, a neighbor, and a citizen of Concord. Here is Minott, 'the poetical farmer'; Goodwin, the one-eyed fisherman; Therien, the French-Canadian woodchopper; Hugh Quoil, the 'drunken soldier of Waterloo'; Sam Staples, the jailer; the Three Oily Reformers; and many others. It is a volume full of quiet humor and shrewd observations on human nature, with illustrations that perfectly interpret the text. FROM WIKIPEDIA: Newell Convers Wyeth (October 22, 1882 – October 19, 1945), known as N. C. Wyeth, was an American artist and illustrator. He was the pupil of artist Howard Pyle and became one of America's greatest illustrators. During his lifetime, Wyeth created over 3,000 paintings and illustrated 112 books, 25 of them for Scribner's, the Scribner Classics, which is the work for which he is best known. The first of these, Treasure Island, was one of his masterpieces and the proceeds paid for his studio. Wyeth was a realist painter just as the camera and photography began to compete with his craft. Sometimes seen as melodramatic, his illustrations were designed to be understood quickly. Wyeth, who was both a painter and an illustrator, understood the difference, and said in 1908, "Painting and illustration cannot be mixed—one cannot merge from one into the other."
