EXCERPTS FROM THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF DAVID LORING, SR.
[Robert Ileedham has called to our attention tne
existance of the manuscript of the autobiography of
David Loring, Sr., now in the archives of the Bunker
Hill Monument Association. Mr. Loring, who iras born
in Concord, Mass. on March 26, 1850, died in Portland,
Oregon on May 21, 1933. His autobiography is a series
of rambling recollections of his childhood in Concord
and his experiences as a young man in the West. As
with many such recollections written in old age, fact
and fancy are sometimes confused, but the following
excerpts pertaining to Thoreau give an interesting
if not always accurate picture.—WH]

a "lead pipe machine" for the older Loring. They
are now in the Concord Free Public Library.] After
my mother's death in the fall of 1851, I lived at
my grandmother Ripley's. ... I grew up in the

his literary control in rendering his experience in organic
form really fell off, as has been so often maintained, in his
later years. If Thoreau were truly an organic artist, then
whatever he had to say, since it continued to come from his
experience, would express itself through the material, and he
would not try to add external drama to his experience even if
he recognized that it was increasingly undramatic. The prob
lem here attacked, then, is to discover exactly what Thoreau
meant by organic form and how honestly he practiced it at any
time during his writing career.
