Local historian Richard Smith joins to read selected passages from the book Men of Concord, an aggregation of Henry David Thoreau's journals, edited by F.H. Allen and illustrated by N.C. Wyeth. What were people doing and what did they find interesting in the mid 1800s? What was their version of a Starbucks run? Why were so many people indifferent to or strongly against bathing? And find out the type of people Thoreau liked to gossip and talk smack about.

Warning: Some light 19th century explicit-ish content is included toward the end. Viewer discretion is advised.
