Whitman

The kind of description and attention to detail that Whitman employs is what puts the “literary” in literary journalism.

And we say, the Whitman massacre is the result of that influence.

Mrs. Whitman joined the Presbyterian Church when a young girl of eleven.

Dr. Whitman gave the Chiefs a reprimand, and called it thieving, and demanded that they send back everything they had taken.

Whitman was as one crying in the wilderness, uncouth, unheeded save by the few.

The questions which Whitman puts to him who would be an American poet may fairly be put to himself.
