Famed poet Walt Whitman is near death (or so they thought)...
Item # 694576
October 27, 1891
THE DAILY JOURNAL, Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, Oct. 27, 1891 The front page has a half column report headed: "WALT WHITMAN DYING" "The 'Good Gray Poet' is Fast Approaching Dissolution" "Stricken With Paralysis" "It is Slowly Nearing the Heart and the End May Come at Any Moment--The Poet Has Chosen the Spot Where His Body Is to Lie".
Actually, he would live for another five months.
Included with the detailed article is a print of him as well.
Four pages, archivally rejoined at the irregular spine, minor tears at margins, somewhat fragile and should be handled carefully.
