Nathaniel Hawthorne said he was ‘ugly as sin,’ and Louisa May Alcott said his beard would ‘preserve the man’s virtue in perpetuity.’ He wrote A Plea for Captain John Brown, making Brown an abolitionist hero. In opposition to the Mexican War, he refused to pay a poll tax. For two years, he lived in a pond-side cabin owned by his friend Ralph Waldo Emerson. Who wrote about his poll tax experience in the essay Civil Disobedience and his wilderness experience in Walden?
