Walt Whitman experienced the agonies of the Civil War as a dedicated volunteer throughout the conflict in Washington’s overcrowded, understaffed military hospitals. This superb collection of his poems, letters, and prose from the war years, filled with the sights and sounds of war and its ugly aftermath, expresses a vast and powerful range of emotions. Among the poems include here, first published in Drum-Taps (1865) and Sequel to Drum-Taps (1866), are a number of Whitman’s most famous works: O Captain! My Captain! The Wound-Dresser, When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d, and Come Up from the Fields, Father.
The letters and prose selections—including Whitman’s musings on the publication of his works and the wounded men he tended as well as his impressions of President Abraham Lincoln traveling around Washington—offer keen insights into an extraordinary era in American history.
