This scrap is alluded to in the section of
Specimen Days & Collect
(1882-1883)
entitled "Steam-Power, Telegraphs, &
America's Back-Bone." It was probably composed after September
1879, when Whitman traveled out to Denver, CO. On the verso is a page from an elections inspector's book from
the 1850s.
