There are so many biographies on Lincoln and when a person's life is market satuated the new approach is to do dual biographies Lincoln & Frederick Douglas, Lincoln and Steven Douglas, Team of Rivals. I have read them al but this one touched me Lincoln and Whitman by David Mark. I would say read leaves of Grass and a biography on Whitman first since the dual biography revolves around each other through their prose.. Catain O captain is Ok but I finally understood When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd and it brought me to tears. (I apologize that I cannot recall the great biography on Whitman.)

Walt Whitman navigates the journey of this Civil War novel based on real people and events. The first chapter finds him at the bedside of William Prentiss, a wounded Rebel soldier. Whitman becomes the sole link with William’s brother, Clifton, a Union officer being treated in another ward. The reader is taken seamlessly from Baltimore before the war, to many battlefields where North and South collide, and to Richmond, where Hetty, Jenny, and Constance Cary are the reigning belles. The book will be released by Staghorn Press on February 1, 2008. Thank you. Cordially, David H. Jones Hi Chris,
