Content:
"Three Young Men's Deaths" was a piece that first appeared in April 1879 in
Cope's Tobacco Plant
, a trade magazine published in Liverpool, England, although Whitman wrote the piece in late 1878. He would later republish it in
Specimen Days & Collect
(1882–83) and
Complete Prose Works
(1892). This manuscript is a draft of the short introductory paragraph that appeared before the descriptions of the three young men, and includes a brief note to the proof reader at
Cope's
; the introduction remained unchanged in subsequent publications.
