Now the Drum of War: Walt Whitman and His Brothers in the Civil War
Great book for learning about social history in New York in the decades just before the Civil War and in Washington, DC during the war when Whitman served as a volunteer nurse then. Whitman's father, a carpenter, and then Walt himself, and then a younger brother, all acted as "developers," building a house, living in it for a short while, then selling it. Just like today. So American. Roper uses the Civil War period to suggest some insights into the work of America's first great poet (and still the greatest), especially its limitations after that period. It made me want to read and study these poems, and learn more about his later life.
