  Walt Whitman is celebrated as an iconic American poet, but few know of the crucial and heroic role he played tending to the wounded and dying in Civil War hospitals. This nonfiction book highlights Whitman’s compassion and teaches an important lesson about empathy, making this a perfect social-emotional learning title for young readers. 
   
  In December of 1862, Walt Whitman left Brooklyn, New York, for the war-torn South after seeing his brother's name on a list of wounded Union soldiers. What he found on the battlefields completely changed his life, as he came face to face with not only the wounded, but the dying. Whitman spent the next three years working part-time in Washington, DC, visiting and ministering to soldiers in the city’s many military hospitals. Caring for the sick and dying was not easy, but Whitman was committed to his chosen service. He became known as "the soldiers’ friend," and was bound—in his own way—to save and heal the America he wrote about and loved so deeply. 
   
  New York Times–bestselling author Gary Golio brings Whitman’s story and his passion for America to life, complete with quotes from Whitman’s works.

  The Plagiarist From Rigel IV by Evan Hunter - Writing stories was hard work—unless Fred had a typewriter like "Reggie" that could write by itself! Nonsense? Fred agreed until he met— THE PLAGIARIST FROM RIGEL IV 
  I bought the typewriter in a pawn shop on Third Avenue. 
  The pawn shop proprietor was a balding old man with a walrus mustache. 
  "How much?" I asked him. 
  "Five dollars," he said casually. 
  I glanced at him skeptically. The machine was a Remington Noiseless, with italics, probably worth a little over a hundred new, and it couldn't have been more than a year or two old. 
  "How much?" I asked. 
  "Five dollars, is what I said. Five." He held up the fingers of his widespread hand. "Five. One-two-three...." 
  "What's wrong with it?" I asked suspiciously. 
  The old man shrugged. "Something has to be wrong with it? Listen, young man, don't look a gift horse in the mouth." 
  "How come it's so cheap?" 
  The old man sighed deeply. "You try to do a favor, you get all kinds of questions. Would you feel happier if I charged you fifty-five dollars?" 
  "I wouldn't pay fifty-five dollars. I haven't got that much money." 
  "Have you got five dollars? Can you pay that much?" 
  "Yes. But...." 
  "All right, take the machine. A case goes with it. Believe me, young man, this is a bargain." 
  "Five dollars?" I asked again. 
  "Five dollars. You want it? Yes or no? I got other things to do." 
  "I'll take it." 
  The old man smiled. "Good, you'll never regret it." 
  He slid the machine off the counter and put it into its case. He snapped the case shut then, locked it, and handed me the two keys.
