This book is from the collection of Lonnie L. Willis.

Lonnie L. Willis was a Professor of English and American literature at Boise State University from 1970 until 2004. He published short fiction, scholarly articles on Henry David Thoreau, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Robert B. Parker and others, and two books, Red, White, and Dead and The True Adventures of a Texas Sharecropper Kid. He was a long-time member of the Thoreau Society and contributed several articles to the Thoreau Society Bulletin, including “Please, Sir, Would You Sign My Book to Henry David Thoreau?” in Fall 2002 about his collection of first edition books signed by nearly 100 authors. His lifelong infatuation with Henry David Thoreau started with his PhD thesis about Thoreau at University of Colorado in the 1960s and continued throughout his teaching career.
