Inhalt: |
Prose by Walt Whitman, book design by Lawrence Jay Switzer. Only two written "on the spot" accounts of the Civil War are known to exist. This prose diary by Walt Whitman is one of them. As a volunteer nurse during the war, he was in an "eyewitness" position to report on the devastating effects the first modern war had on the nation and its people. Illustrated with period photos, sketches, and engravings. Whitman's journal is intensely personal (rather than political) and a very moving reading experience. |
