When he was 28 years old, Thoreau borrowed an ax and walked into the forest beside Walden Pond alone, built a cabin, cultivated wasteland, wrote and read, and lived alone for two years, two months and two days. After that, it took seven years and seven drafts to write the autobiographical essay "Walden" based on what he saw, heard and thought during this period of living alone.
