He wrote Leaves of Grass in 1855, but his main life work came in Specimen Days and Collect. His brother was wounded in the civil war and he became a volunteer nurse for the north. At the end of the war he had gotten a clerkship, but was fired by Secretary Harlan as the author of an "indecent book".
