Showing results for "Memoranda" in History

Walt Whitman experienced first-hand the ravages of the Civil War as a volunteer nurse in the hospitals of Washington D.C. During that time, he filled notebooks with "impromptu jottings" that became the basis of two works: Drum-Taps, a collection of 71 poems, and Memoranda During the War, an intimate diary of his experience tending to the sick and dying during the war. These two historical works are presented here, narrated by acclaimed actor Bronson Pinchot.

"The real war will never get in the books," Walt Whitman wrote in this diary he kept during the Civil War. Whitman chronicled his visits to Washington, D.C. hospitals where he comforted wounded men and assisted nurses and doctors. This journal, written by one of America's greatest poets and writers, captures the details and ironies of war.

En août 1914, Valère Lecocq, mon arrière grand-père, rédigea jour après jour sur son petit carnet d’épicier un ”memorandum” relatant, à la manière d’un journaliste, les premiers mois de la première guerre mondiale à Frameries, au Borinage. Les rumeurs de guerre, le passage des troupes anglaises, l’invasion allemande et l’occupation dans son petit village de mineurs borains. Un document émouvant et réaliste d’un témoin privilégié que je vous livre à mon tour, plus d’un siècle après ces événements tragiques.
