Profiles Mentioned:

Was this the Johnny Riordan mentioned by Henry David Thoreau in his Journal circa 1850-52 ... who walked a mile each way to school in the middle of winter .. with hardly a stitch of clothing to keep him warm .. and with shoes full of holes .... the Johnny Riordan to whom Thoreau later gave a warm coat ... and the boy about whom Thoreau wrote a four stanza poem?
