Synopsis:
The tax collector arrests and jails Thoreau, who has paid no poll tax. He declines to support a government allowing slaves to be sold in the doors of its Senate-house. Released when someone interferes and pays his tax, he joins a huckleberry party, and is soon atop a high hill, two miles off, where the state is nowhere to be seen.
