In 1864 the poet, Walt Whitman, was terminated from his job as a clerk for the Bureau of Indian Affairs of the Department of the Interior. The reason was that the incoming Secretary of the Department read 'Leaves of Grass' and decided that Whitman was a publisher of vulgar literature. William Douglas O'Connor was a close friend and published this book to defend Whitman and 'Leaves of Grass' by stating that a lot of classic literature is filled with profanity and obscenity and that the book was one of them.
