Whitman and Lincoln shared the national stage in Washington, DC, during the Civil War. Though the two men never met, Whitman would often see Lincoln\u2019s carriage on the road. The president was never far from the poet\u2019s mind, and Lincoln\u2019s &#8220;grace under pressure&#8221; was something Whitman returned to again and again in his poetry. Whitman witnessed Lincoln\u2019s second inauguration and mourned along with America as Lincoln\u2019s funeral train wound its way across the landscape to his final resting place. <em>The book includes the poem &#8220;O Captain! My Captain!&#8221; and an excerpt from &#8220;When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom\u2019d,&#8221; brief bios of Lincoln and Whitman, a timeline of Civil War events, endnotes, and a bibliography.<\/em>  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Snippet:<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/asuen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ocaptain_1-595x368.jpg?resize=525%2C325&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"325\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9040\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/asuen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ocaptain_2-595x368.jpg?resize=525%2C325&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"325\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9041\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/asuen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/nonfiction.monday.jpg?resize=158%2C111\" alt=\"Nonfiction Monday\" width=\"158\" height=\"111\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/asuen.com\/nonfictionmonday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nonfiction Monday!<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Copyright \u00a9 2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/asuen.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anastasia Suen<\/a> All Rights Reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>O Captain, My Captain: Walt Whitman, Abraham Lincoln, and the Civil War by Robert Burleigh (Author)and Sterling Hundley (Illustrator) Booktalk: The story of one of America\u2019s greatest poets and how he was inspired by one of America\u2019s greatest presidents.
