Wikimedia Commons · Public domain · file Emerson joined nine companions in the Adirondack wilderness at Follensby Pond during the excursion later called Philosophers Camp. The party began its journey on August 2, but the cited sentence dates Emerson’s camping only to summer 1858; date is recorded as August because the same account says the excursion began August 2.
