Yesterday (July 8, 2004) I took the Internet Bookmobile to Walden Pond in Concord, Mass. It was the 150th anniversary of H. D. Thoreau’s book “Walden.” The Thoreau Society had a dawn to dusk reading.
After an hour of having readers print and take away free copies of “Walden,” I was asked by the Walden Pond Reservation police to pack up and leave and threatened with arrest. I left.
The park supervisor (Denise Morrissey, 978-369-3254) told me I could not pass out free literature without a permit. And she would not give me a permit because, as she explained, the state park gets money from a concession by the Thoreau Society, which operates a store that sells “Walden”–and I was competing with them by giving away free copies. —Eric Eldred —Free Walden (Internet Archive)
