Content:
This manuscript contains a short note with two war scenes (the homeward
bound Armies at Washington and the disbanding, and the first onset and
alarm) that Whitman hypothesized to use as a conclusion and an opening
for
Memoranda During the War
(1875-1876). The scenes did not appear in these locations,
but were used, still in
Memoranda
, in the section titled "The
Ensuing Three Months—The National Uprising and
Volunteering." The scenes were also included within "National Uprising and
Volunteering" published in
Specimen
Days & Collect
(1882-1883)
and later retained in
Complete Prose
Works
(1892).
