Authors Row??????

answers1:I don't know either...did you just google author's row Ma?? try it
answers2:Found this on Wikipedia:...Concord has a remarkably rich
literary history centered in the mid-nineteenth century around Ralph
Waldo Emerson (1803–1882), who moved to the town in 1835 and quickly
became its most prominent citizen. Emerson, a successful lecturer and
philosopher, had deep roots in the town: his father Rev. William
Emerson (1769–1811) grew up in Concord before becoming an eminent
Boston minister, and his grandfather, William Emerson Sr., witnessed
the battle at the North Bridge from his house, and later became a
chaplain in the Continental Army. Emerson was at the center of a group
of like-minded Transcendentalists living in Concord. Among them were
the author Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864) and the philosopher Bronson
Alcott (1799–1888), the father of Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888). A
native Concordian, Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862), was another
notable member of Emerson's circle. This substantial collection of
literary talent in one small town led Henry James to dub Concord "the
biggest little place in America."Among the products of this
intellectually stimulating environment were Emerson's many essays,
including Self-Reliance (1841), Louisa May Alcott's novel Little Women
(1868), and Hawthorne's story collection Mosses from an Old Manse
(1846). Thoreau famously lived in a small cabin near Walden Pond,
where he wrote Walden (1854). After being imprisoned in the Concord
jail for refusing to pay taxes in political protest, Thoreau penned
the influential essay "Resistance to Civil Government", popularly
known as Civil Disobedience (1849).The Wayside house, located on
Lexington Road, has been home to a number of authors. It was occupied
by scientist John Winthrop (1714–1779) when Harvard College was
temporarily moved to Concord during the Revolutionary War. The Wayside
was later the home of the Alcott family (who referred to it as
"Hillside"); the Alcotts sold it to Hawthorne in 1852, and the family
moved into the adjacent Orchard House in 1858. Hawthorne dubbed the
house "The Wayside" and lived there until his death. The house was
purchased in 1883 by Boston publisher Daniel Lothrop and his wife,
Harriett, who wrote the Five Little Peppers series and other
children's books under the pen name Margaret Sidney. Today, The
Wayside and the Orchard House are both museums. Emerson, Thoreau,
Hawthorne, and the Alcotts are buried on Authors' Ridge in Concord's
Sleepy Hollow Cemetery....So maybe Author's Row refers to Lexington
row? Hope that's what it is, for your sake, because I couldn't find
anything else that came close!...Show more
