Canoeing in the wilderness by Henry David Thoreau

This brilliant account of Thoreau's four trips to Cape Cod is often still considered the best book ever written about the area. Chronicling a fatal shipwreck, encounters with the ocean, explorations, and settlement, as well as Thoreau's reflections on the pilgrims' landing, Cape Cod has become known as the nautical Walden.
