Did you know that poet Walt Whitman was also a Civil War nurse? Devastated by his country dividing and compelled to service by his brother`s war injury, Walt nursed all soldiers-Union & Confederate, black & white. By getting to know them through many intense and affecting experiences, he began to see a greater life purpose: His writing could give these men a voice, & in turn, achieve his greatest aspiration--to capture the true spirit of America. Dramatic, powerful, & deeply moving, this consummate portrait of Whitman will inspire readers to pick up their pens & open their hearts to humanity. 0 text unmediated volume lcc BK jderpo 2018-09-25 13:43:05 jderpo 2019-01-29 09:58:13 10463 10392 10392 0 0 ddc 0 0 BED BED BED 2025-12-21 CIR 811.3 K45w 2005 L0652 2026-06-18 00:00:00 2025-12-21 BK
