An Excursion to Canada is a travelogue written by the renowned American author, Henry David Thoreau. In this book, Thoreau documents his journey to Canada, where he explores the natural beauty of the country and interacts with its people. He describes his experiences in vivid detail, from his encounters with wildlife to his conversations with locals. Thoreau's writing style is poetic and introspective, as he reflects on the meaning of his travels and the impact they have on his perspective of the world. The book provides a unique glimpse into the Canadian landscape and culture during the mid-19th century, as seen through the eyes of one of America's most celebrated writers. Overall, An Excursion to Canada is a fascinating read for anyone interested in travel writing, nature, and the works of Henry David Thoreau.After spending the night at a farm-house in Chateau-Richer, about a dozen miles northeast of Quebec, we set out on our return to the city. We stopped at the next house, a picturesque old stone mill, over the Chipre, --for so the name sounded, --such as you will nowhere see in the States, and asked the millers the age of the mill. They went up stairs to call the master; but the crabbed old miser asked why we wanted to know, and would tell us only for some compensation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
