Walter Harding Chronology

This exhibit is dedicated to the history of Walter Harding and his relationship to Thoreau. Each collection highlights different periods in Walter Harding's life: his early interest in Thoreau, his work as a founding member of the Thoreau Society, his career as a professor of English at SUNY Geneseo, and his work in his later career. Walter Harding's study and enthusiasm for Thoreau was unremitting and resulted in some of the finest and most thorough scholarship of Henry David Thoreau.

This exhibit was compiled by students in SUNY Geneseo's English 340 class throughout the spring 2015 semester.
