'We need the tonic of wildness, ' Thoreau wrote in Walden, Walden are selections from Thoreau's first book, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers; 'A Plea for Captain John Brown, ' his eloquent defense of the American abolitionist's rebellion at Harper's Ferry, and such masterpieces as his famous essay 'Civil Disobedience, ' in which he describes a night spent in prison for refusing to pay a poll tax to a government that condoned slavery.
