Forgotten
Radio Broadcast about Walden Pond
by
W. Barksdale Maynard
"Walden: 1962" was the title of a broadcast on
radio station WBZ, 20 July 1962, in commemoration of the
centennial of Thoreau's death that year. It proved so popular
that it was released as a phonographic record— typical
of the offbeat sources that I encountered during my research
for Walden Pond: A History, to be published in
2004 by Oxford University Press. |
A reporter visited Walden Pond in early summer and drew an ironic
contrast between conditions in Thoreau's day and those now: "Refreshment
stands, a trailer camp, and a dump -- these greet visitors to
Walden, 1962.... Red transistor radios, white toy sailboats, blue
beach blankets, yellow towels, green buckets, orange life jackets,
Scotch plaid picnic bags, polka-dot bikinis.... When they reach
his home, the pilgrims sit on benches. Their ears soon become
accustomed to the steady rumble of huge trucks on Route Two, a
quarter mile to the north. Every few minutes they vibrate as an
airplane zooms low, taking off or landing at nearby Bedford airport
[Hanscom Field].... The smell of sun lotion, hot dogs, Concord
dump. The sight of litter highlighted by an occasional soda pop
bottle bobbing upside down." Walden, the reporter concluded,
was "compromised by commercialism and indifferent suburbanites,
its very change a lesson in the need for conservation."
“The
Concord Saunterer and Thoreau Society Bulletin contain valuable
historical, biographical, critical, and bibliographical information
about Henry David Thoreau and Transcendental Concord to be found
nowhere else.”
