4.9/5 (22369 ratings)

Description:Now the Drum of War: Walt Whitman and His Brothers in the Civil Warviii, 421 pp. 8vo. The Civil War is seen anew, and a great American family brought to life, in Robert Roper's brilliant evocation of the Family Whitman. Walt Whitman's work as a nurse to the wounded soldiers of the Civil War had a profound effect on the way he saw the world. Much less well known is the extraordinary record of his younger brother, George Washington Whitman, who led his men in twenty-one major battles ? from Antietam to Fredericksburg, Vicksburg to the Wilderness ? almost to die in a Confederate prison camp as the fighting ended. Drawing on the searing letters that Walt, George, their mother Louisa, and their other brothers, wrote to each other during the conflict, and on new evidence and new readings of the great poet, Now the Drum of War chronicles the experience of an archetypal American family ? from rural Long Island to working-class Brooklyn ? enduring its own long crisis alongside the anguish of the nation. Robert Roper has constructed a powerful narrative about America's greatest crucible, and a compelling, braided story of our most original poet and one of our bravest soldiers.Keywords: MILITARY HISTORY AMERICAN CIVIL WAR WALT WHITMANWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
