Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau was a transcendentalist writer and philosopher.

Background
The author of On Civil Disobedience, Thoreau stayed at a cabin on the shore of Walden Pond for over two years starting in the summer of 1845. This was done to better understand society, by living off of the land with few material possessions, experimenting on being truly self-reliant. Some of his works were published by Ticknor and Fields, based out of the Old Corner Bookstore in Boston.

In 2287, two members of a raider gang named Tweez and Bear headquartered at Walden Pond discussed his theories to the best of their ability, and companions will comment on the author in front of the pond.

Appearances
Henry David Thoreau is mentioned only in Fallout 4.
