We, of course, also visited Walt's favorite brother in nearby St. Louis--and duly inspected the ceiling of the St. Louis Public Library for his name. (Yes, we have matching shirts).

And now that the piece is officially posted, let me add my congrats. Amy's discovery is really crucial for how we understand Whitman's involvement with the Brooklyn Daily Eagle--well past his editorship in the 1840s. Give it a read! @BklynEagle

Congrats to @SIUE history undergrad Amy Kapp, who did nothing less than discover a previously unknown article written by Walt Whitman during her internship. pubs.lib.uiowa.edu/wwqr/arti…

A Long-Lost Eagle Article Puts Walt and Jeff on the Map

This discovery article sheds new light on the extent of Walt Whitman's continued involvement with the Brooklyn Daily Eagle in the late 1850s.  It discusses the thematic and stylistic similarities...
