The soldier's friend : Walt Whitman's extraordinary service in the American Civil War  Cover Image Book Book

The soldier's friend : Walt Whitman's extraordinary service in the American Civil War / Gary Golio ; illustrated by E. B. Lewis.

Summary:

.In 1863, Walt Whitman left Brooklyn, New York, for the war-torn South after seeing his brother's name on a list of wounded Union soldiers. What he found on the battlefields completely changed his life, as he came face to face with not only the wounded, but the dying. Whitman spent the next three years working part-time in Washington, DC, visiting and ministering to soldiers in the city’s many military hospitals. Caring for the sick and dying was not easy, but Whitman was committed to his chosen service. He became known as "the soldiers’ friend," and was bound—in his own way—to save and heal the America he wrote about and loved so deeply.
