Autumn Wind and Wounded Soldier Echoes in Old Notes
The clipping blends verse and prose on wounded soldiers, fatness as health myth, and historical notes. It recounts Daniel Lambert’s size and feats, Commodore Stockton’s Peacemaker mishap, New York city dwelling statistics, and curiosities about massage, catnip, and senators’ birthplaces, all in a late 19th century tone.
