On Walden, Continued
Posted by Ernest Miller
Last week, I wrote about the difficulties Eric Eldred faced when trying to give away copies of Henry David Thoreau's Walden at Walden Pond on the 150th anniversary of the publishing of the classic (On Walden). Today, the Boston Globe has put Eldred's story on the front page of their Metro section (Fighting to be free):
Denise Morrissey, the park supervisor who told Eldred he had to leave, said her agency discourages competition from outsiders who could take away business from the two concessions that pay for a spot on the reservation: an ice cream truck and the gift shop run by the Thoreau Society.
"If you're going to give away books for free," she said, "it might take away business" from the shop.
