A Yankee In Canada: With Anti-Slavery And Reform Papers is a collection of essays by American author and philosopher Henry David Thoreau.

Thoreau also includes several essays on the abolition of slavery and other social reform movements of the time. Written in Thoreau's signature style, the book is a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of the intersections of politics, society, and the natural world.The First Part Of This Book Describes A Trip To Canada.
