Title: Walt Whitman Poetry
Manuscripts in The Thomas Biggs Harned Collection from the Library of Congress
Collection Number: N/A
Creator:
Whitman, Walt, 1819-1892
Collector:
Harned, Thomas Biggs
Repository:
Manuscripts Division, The Library of Congress
Abstract:
This machine-readable finding aid was created, in part, from digital images of
the original manuscripts obtained by The Walt Whitman
Archive. The original papers and the finding aid completed by Michael
McElderry are held at the Library of Congress.
Scope and Content:
The Thomas Biggs Harned Collection of the Papers of Walt Whitman spans the period
1842-1937, with most of the items dated from
1855-1892. The collection consists of Whitman's
correspondence, poetry and prose manuscripts, notes and notebooks, proofs and
offprints, printed matter, and miscellaneous supplementary items. A detailed
description of the Harned Collection has been published in the Library of Congress
publication Walt Whitman: A Catalog
(1955), which contains an introductory essay on significant Whitman
collectors and their collections and an annotated bibliographic listing of Whitman
items then located among the collections of various divisions within the Library.
Walt Whitman's papers were divided among his three literary executors, Richard M. Bucke, Thomas Biggs Harned, and
Horace L. Traubel. Of these, only Harned's
collection remains largely intact, the integrity of the other collections having
been lost through dispersal. Whitman's personal habits were such that he wrote and
collected his notes in a casual and unsystematic manner, entrusting his thoughts to
scraps of paper, be it the back of a used envelope or the verso of a letter. His
notebooks contain an equal number of random jottings, some no more than bits and
pieces of paper sewn together to form a small notebook. These notes and notebooks
include names and addresses, trial titles, trial lines of poetry and prose pieces,
diary and hospital notes, pencil sketches and drawings, drafts of poems and essays,
autobiographical and personal notes, printing and publishing notes, and
miscellaneous notes on a wide range of subjects such as history, geography,
politics, and ethnology.
Poems and prose writings in the Manuscripts series vary in form from tentative
outlines to final drafts. This material often shows the extensive revision
characteristic of Whitman's composition. Related notes and notebook entries add
details helpful for textual analysis of the poems. Whitman's practice of drafting
letters, notes, and literary works on the back of incoming letters necessitates the
identification of verso items in order to provide full documentation.
James R. Osgood printed the
Boston edition of Leaves of
Grass (1881-1882), which
was withdrawn from publication after being censored by local authorities.
Correspondence between Osgood and
Whitman about this edition is contained in the collection, as are letters exchanged
with T. W. Rolleston concerning
German and Russian translations. Other correspondents include Anne Burrows Gilchrist, Thomas Biggs
Harned, William Sloane Kennedy,
James M. Scovel, J. M. Stoddart, and Benjamin Holt Ticknor.
Whitman had been greatly moved by Abraham Lincoln, who symbolized
for him the best in the American national character and who inspired some of his
greatest poetry. He lectured extensively on Lincoln, and in a series of lectures given between 1879
and 1890, he recalled details of Lincoln's life and death and sketched an intimate profile based on
personal reminiscence. The Lincoln Material series contains a thematic grouping of
various types of manuscripts and printed matter concerning these lectures and
related topics.
The Proofs and Offprints series includes copies of Whitman's prose and poetry.
Whitman often revised his writings after having them set in type, and several of the
proofs in this series contain either corrections to the text or notations for the
printer.
In 1942, a group of Whitman notebooks from the Harned collection, along
with other national treasures, were evacuated from Washington, D.C., for safekeeping
during World War II. Upon the return of the material from storage in
1944, it was discovered that ten Whitman notebooks and a cardboard
butterfly were missing. In 1995, the Library regained custody of four
of these notebooks and the butterfly, but six notebooks remain unaccounted for.
The recovered items relate to Whitman's early career as a journalist and poet and
include notes on perception and the senses, names and addresses, diary notes, drafts
of Civil War poems, and observations made in Washington, D.C.,
during the Civil War. Whitman also used the notebooks to record the public's
reaction to and acceptance of his poetry. The earliest notebook in the collection,
written between 1847 and 1854, was among the four
recovered and contains drafts of one of Whitman's most famous poems,
"Song of Myself."
Other notebooks contain notes
Whitman made while working as a nurse in Civil War hospitals in Washington, 1862-1864. The cardboard butterfly is thought to be
the same Whitman wired on his finger in a photograph that was published as the
frontispiece for the 1889 birthday edition of Leaves of Grass.
Biographical Information:
Thomas
Harned was a prominent lawyer in Camden, New
Jersey, where Whitman lived in his final decades. He was a close friend
of Whitman's and one of three literary executors named in Whitman's will.

Title:

Date: about 1868-1870
Physical Description: 1 leaf, handwritten
One of a number of manuscripts in which Whitman records and develops
ideas for a poem that never emerged about the crusades. In this
particular manuscript, Whitman lists figures such as "Peter the Hermit"
and "The Popes." While Whitman wrote other war poems such as
"Chanting the Square Deific"
and
"Reconciliation"
, and he mentions the
crusades specifically in both his prose works Specimen Days and Democratic
Vistas, a direct link between these manuscript notes and any of
his published works is unclear. The verso contains part of a cancelled
letter between Charles Francis Adams, Minister to England during the
Civil War, and Earl Russell, British Foreign Minister, regarding the
Confederate "steamer Georgia" which
Whitman would have had to copy from another published document. Other
dated materials containing notes on the crusades suggest this manuscript
was likely composed around 1869.

One of a number of manuscripts in which Whitman records and develops
ideas for a poem that never emerged about the crusades. In this
manuscript, Whitman relates "the Crusades" and "our own great war"
through the observation that great revolutions have "been mainly for an
idea." While Whitman wrote other war poems such as
"Chanting the Square Deific"
and
"Reconciliation"
, and he mentions the
crusades specifically in both his prose works Specimen Days and Democratic
Vistas, a direct link between these manuscript notes and any of
his published works is unclear. The verso contains part of a cancelled
letter about the steamer Georgia between
Charles Francis Adams, Minister to England during the Civil War, and

notes on the crusades suggest this manuscript was likely composed around
1869.

of references to letters in the House Executive
Documents, 38th Cong. which correspond to several individual
documents transcribed on the cancelled versos of other crusade
manuscripts also in the Harned collection. Other dated materials
containing notes on the crusades suggest this manuscript was likely

A copy in Whitman's hand of a review from an 1844 North British Review regarding Michaud's History of the Crusades including several
notes by Whitman suggesting a link to "our own war." The second leaf
contains a continuation of ideas that Whitman notes in the margin might
"open the foregoing" about the sounds of squadrons starting upon their
great campaign. While other manuscripts and published works share
similarities in topic and idea, a direct link is unknown. The versos of
both leaves are blank. Other dated materials containing notes on the

One of a number of manuscripts in which Whitman makes notes linking the
crusades to a great idea. While other manuscripts and published works
share similarities in topic and idea, a direct link is unknown. The
verso contains cancelled writing about the steamer Georgia. The information is likely from
letters between Charles Francis Adams, Minister to England during the
Civil War, Earl Russell, British Foreign Minister, and W.H. Seward,
Secretary of State concerning the ship and that appear on other crusade
related manuscripts. The verso notes seem to have some connection to
Whitman's recto writing, as he remarks about "maritime spirit" and
"Italian and Spanish navigators." Other dated materials containing notes
on the crusades suggest this manuscript was likely composed around
1869.
