A poem unpublished in Whitman's lifetime, "After Certain Disastrous Campaigns" was
published first in
The Uncollected
Poetry and Prose of Walt Whitman
, ed. Emory Holloway (Garden
City, N.Y., Toronto: Doubleday, Page and Company, 1921). The manuscript shows that
Whitman originally considered the title "Answer me, year of repulses," which is also the
first line of the poem.
