Walden and "Civil Disobedience"

"As i drew a still fresher soil about the rows with my hoe, i disturbed the ashes of unchronicled nations who in primeval years lived under these heavens, and their small implements of war and hunting were brought to the light of this modern day." P.126

(R) I think it's pretty cool that back then one only had to hoe their bean field in order to find native american artifacts and other tools and things of past residents. So many things have changed since then that it now takes more effort to find artifacts of the sort. If you did deep enough in your own back yard you'll only end up finding your own trash.
