T horeau m ean t w h a t he said, so he got a n ax an d built him self a cabin in th e woods. Com pleted, it w as ab o u t th e size of th e a v erag e living room. He did all th e w ork him self: p u t in th e windows, built th e fireplace, placed th e shingles. H e k ep t a jo u rn al o f h is expenses which am o u n ted to less th a n th irty dol lars. T h en he te s te d his theory- Lived alone, did all h is own w ork —b o th housew ork and labor. B ut it gave him tim e fo r little th in g s; he m ade frien d s w ith the birds and th e anim als. He had a n e x tr a o rd in ary pow er o v er them . He could ta m e a fish by feeding it, th e n he w ould scoop his h an d and b ring it out o f the w ater. He loved long w alks, w ith a notebook in one pocket and a one- lunged sp y g la ss in an o th er. Som e tim es he steadied th e sp y g lass a g a in s t a tre e and gazed fo r h alf an hour spell-bound a t som e d is play of n atu re.

He built a log cabin in th e wild- wood. C ost: $28. He found his food in h is g arden, fo re st and fields, spending fo r food only 25 cen ts a week! He w as "com pletely unballanc- ed," or, ra th e r, th a t is w h a t th e neighbors said as th ey trie d to arg u e him o u t o f h is qu eern ess an d to ld him how he should live. T hey bored him so w ith th e ir ad vice th a t w hen he saw th em com in g he would hide. One d ay h e w en t to th e village PA G E T H R E E to have his shoes repaired. The m arsh al cam e up, and to T hor ea u ’s astonishm ent, told him he w as under arre st. "W hy do you a rre s t m e? I do co h a rm to any one!” " F o r not paying y o u r poll-tax.

T h o reau w as a rre ste d and clap ped in to ja il—th is friend of the wild c re a tu re s of th e w ooda O ut raged by th is act, he pondered the question of how m uch au th o rity a governm ent, o r a nation, should have over its people, and finally w ro te an inspired essay on "Civil Disobedience." T im e passed — — th a t essay fell in to th e han d s of a young layw er in D urban. South A frica.
