Most remembered for his seminal poetic work Leaves of Grass, a different side of the great Walt Whitman is seen in this scarce text: the keen American educationalist. This book contains more than a hundred paragraphs, book reviews, and articles on the state of New York s educational system, written by Whitman while he was a reporter and editor for the Brooklyn Evening Star and the Brooklyn Daily Eagle from 1845 to 1848. These fascinating observations and recommendations provide an insight into Whitman s passion for educational reform, constituting a must-read for both admirers of the great poet s writing and those interested in the history of the American Education system. Born in Huntington, Long Island, Walter Whitman was an American essayist, journalist, and poet, having also worked as a teacher, government clerk, and as a voluntary nurse during the American Civil War. This rare text was originally published in 1950 and is proudly republished here with a new introductory biography of the author.\""29.99 | Walt Whitman Looks at the School, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
