''A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers'' (1849) is a book by Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862). It is ostensibly the narrative of a boat trip from Concord, Massachusetts to Concord, New Hampshire, and back, that Thoreau took with his brother John in 1839. John died of tetanus in 1842 and Thoreau wrote the book, in part, as a tribute to his memory.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://press.princeton.edu/titles/7720.html )〕 ==Background== The book's first draft was completed while Thoreau was living at Walden Pond (1845-47). He was unable to find a publisher, however, and therefore had it published at his own expense.〔 Few copies sold and he was left with several hundred extras and went into debt. A slightly revised version of ''A Week'', based on corrections Thoreau had made himself, was published in 1868, six years after his death.
