Longfellow Rejects Adirondack Trip Over Killing Fear
The Adirondack expeditions with Emerson and other scholars formed the Philosopher's club. Longfellow refused to go when told a gun would be used, saying someone would be shot. Emerson struggled with deer hunting twice, once needing a guide, then planning to shoot a “square thing” if required. The club formed at Ampersand pond and faded with the Civil War. Fires later damaged the area around Follensbee where they hunted and fished.
