INDEX THE PEOPLE OF WALDEN: ELIZABETH SHERMAN HOAR PEOPLE MENTIONED IN WALDEN WALDEN: Housework was a pleasant pastime. When my floor was PEOPLE OF dirty, I rose early, and, setting all my furniture out of doors WALDEN on the grass, bed and bedstead making but one budget, dashed water on the floor, and sprinkled white sand from the pond on it, and then with a broom scrubbed it clean and white; and by the time the villagers had broken their fast the morning sun had dried my house sufficiently to allow me to move in again, and my meditations were almost uninterrupted. It was pleasant to see my whole household effects out on the grass, making a little pile like a gypsy’s pack, and my three-legged table, from which I did not remove the books and pen and ink, standing amid the pines and hickories. They seemed glad to get out themselves, and as if unwilling to be brought in. I was sometimes tempted to stretch an awning over them and take my seat there. It was worth the while to see the sun shine on these things, and hear the free wind blow on them; so much more interesting most familiar objects look out of doors than in the house. A bird sits on the next bough, life- everlasting grows under the table, and blackberry vines run round its legs; pine cones, chestnut burs, and strawberry leaves are strewn about.

    “CUSHMAN KELLOGG DAVIS” BY GEORGE F. HOAR __________ FOREWORD BY DOUGLAS A. HEDIN EDITOR, MLHP In The Politicos, 1865-1900 , Matthew Josephson drew portraits of the leading political figures in post-bellum America, including Cushman Kellogg Davis, whom he described as “one of the more cultivated lawyers in the upper chamber.” 1 There are many words that can be applied to Cushman Davis, and “cultivated” is one of the better ones. There seems to have been something of a battle within him—between the active life of the trial lawyer and politician and the contemplative life of writing and reading Shakespeare, biographies of Napoleon, 1 Matthew Josephson, The Politicos, 1865-1900 583 (New York: Harcourt, Brace and Co., 1938). Henry Cabot Lodge, the junior senator from Massachusetts, also used this word to describe Davis in his eulogy on January 12, 1901. “Address of Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts,” in Memorial Addresses on the Life and Character of Cushman Kellogg Davis (Late Senator from Minnesota) Delivered in the Senate and House of Representatives, Fifty-Sixth Congress, Second Session 38, 41, 42 (Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, 1901) (“Yet was he none the less a man of letters—was so by his wide reading, his cultivation, and his love of learning for its own sake….Like all men of broad cultivation…). 1 histories and poetry.2 In his biography of Mark Hanna, Thomas Beer paints a vivid impression of Davis merging his work in politics with his passion for literature: He was a personage, oddly forgotten by historians, a reformer, a jingo, an imperialist, and yet a critical patriot.
