A little hint...they didn't like each other very well.
Not that it matters, but I know for a fact that Henry Ford went camping with Thomas Edison in the Smoky Mountains!๐๐๐๐๐คฃ๐๐
Did Thoreau take Sophia Foord camping?? I know she wanted to marry him, but he didn't want her...that would be reason for them not to like each other.
How about Leon Leonwood Bean...AKA L.L. Bean? He was from Maine! LOL!!!๐ I am just trying to be annoying now!!!๐๐คฃ๐๐คช
Pamela wrote: "Was it an Indian guide???"Well he did hire an Indian guide each time he went to the Maine woods, but none of them were authors.

Who?! Ok one more hint, and this is practically giving it away. He was one of the Fireside Poets. There now you've only got 5 to choose from, and 1 has been ruled out already!
Oh, fiddlesticks. I see that was already eliminated.
