Synopsis
Thoreau builds a cabin on Walden Pond, experiences life there, and writes about those experiences and his thoughts. He spends a night in jail for refusing to pay taxes in support of a government that protects slavery. He explores the Maine woods, works with the Underground Railroad, pleads for the life of Captain John Brown. At length he succumbs to tuberculosis, still largely misunderstood by his family and friends.
