No Alcott on Thoreau's Neckbeard

A lot of people would bolster their negative opinions of neckbeard havers by saying that Louisa May Alcott used to dish on Thoreau's neckbeard. So she tried to find a reliable original source for this quote. She called up scholars, other archivists, other librarians,. Emerson experts, no Alcott on Thoreaux's neckbeard at all. Wherever she looked, she couldn't find it. And so she went back to Wikipedia and found out who made the edit which was never seen again.
