Hannah Gavalis
intern, Thoreau Institute
Working with Robert Sattelmeyer’s Thoreau’s Reading: A Study in Intellectual History with Bibliographic Catalogue, which was published in 1988 by the Princeton University Press, gave me a new appreciation for how primary sources or other historical documents can be used and how to find them. It also reinforced how important it is to take in to consideration the historical context that a person lived in, or that an event took place in.
