In the twentieth century, authors of American nature, imitating Thoreau’s life style, started to go into woods and live a newly simple life.
For instance, a couple in Boston went to the wildness, lived there for one year
and wrote a book named At Home in the Woods: Living in the Life of Thoreau Today .
Anne LaBastille after divorce built a cabin at the lake in Adirondacks Mountains, leading a Thoreau-style life and wrote the book Woodswoman .

In the following decades, there are still plenty of famous writers who follow Thoreau’s steps, living in accompany with natural landscape and writing down their ardent eulogy for nature.
For example, John Muir travels alone across the mountain districts in Western America, and publishes four books,
The Mountains of California (1894), Our National Parks (1901), My First Summer in the Sierra (1911) and The Yosemite (1912) ;
Mary Hunter Austin, spending twelve years living in the desert, publishes a true record of her life in The Land of Little Rain (1903) .
