Memoranda During the War is Whitman's testament to the anguish, heroism, and terror of the Civil War. The book consists of journal entries detailing his encounters with soldiers and doctors, his thoughts on particular battles and on the meanings of the war for the nation, and his public exchanges with President Lincoln.
