It seems to have had a sordid past by the time HDT took up his residency. The remarkable thing about Thoreau's contribution, Walden; or, Life in the Woods, is its recuperative power. It caused people for the first time to want to respect Walden as a place (as you, for instance, so earnestly want to be able to respect it as a place). That, I would offer, is magic, and is a needed magic, and is a magic which you in turn may apply - to a place of your choosing. In other words, his was a project not about locating an unpolluted place and then going there, tourist-like, but about creating an unpolluted place by an exercise of the imagination and the will.
