Content:
A manuscript proposing ideas for a poem in the form of a prophetic vision
about the future of America. Possibly related to "As I Walk These Broad Majestic Days," which was
first published as "Chants
Democratic 21" in 1860–1861. This scrap has been attached by a
collector or archivist to a backing sheet, together with "An After Thought or Two,"
and "Poem
ante-dating."
