Whitman and Leaves of Grass
- Walt Whitman is one of the 1st generation of
Americans who were born in the newly formed US
and grew up in the stable existence of the new
country. - One of the haziest periods of Whitmans life is
the occurrence of the Civil War, when Whitman
encountered casualties of the war. During this
time, he visited wounded soldiers who moved to
New York hospitals, and wrote about them in "City
Photographs" published in 1862. - During the time of his hospital service, Whitman
wrote about the war experience, but not the
aftereffects, such as the moonlight illuminating
the dead on the battlefields, the churches turned
into hospitals, wound dressing, encountering with
a dead enemy in a coffin, the trauma of battle
nightmares for soldiers who returned home.
