Philosophers' Camp
The 1858 painting by Thomas J. Stillman depicts himself with his Adirondack wilderness guides and guests, friend John Holmes, poets Ralph Emerson and James Lowell, scientists Louis Agassiz and Jeffries Wyman, along with doctors Estes Howe and Amos Binney, and lawyers Ebenezer Hoar and Horatio Woodman. Henry Longfellow was to join them, but fearing the rifle Emerson carried into the wilderness, he decided not to join the group.
