Moose. Indian.

A Dark Confession

I’ve often wondered at the meaning lurking behind the reported final words—moose, Indian—of Henry David Thoreau. For some reason, I’ve always imagined a somewhat dark, untold tale at their root. MOOSE. INDIAN. is just such a reimagining of Thoreau’s first trip to the Maine Woods—as he recalls the uncomfortably gruesome truth on his deathbed.

Interesting and imaginative interpretation

As a Thoreauvian and northern rural Maine resident, I happily gave this a listen (coincidentally on my way to Baxter State Park). It is an interesting and imaginative interpretation of Thoreau’s last words, and while I don’t think it is realistic for Thoreau, and I am unsure of what my fellow Thoreauvians may think, I can still appreciate it for what it is—a spooky and suspenseful short story about the wildness of northern Maine.

Captivating

Very captivating, could not stop listening. Really enjoyed the story and adventure this took me on.
