Talk:Pueblo speech

Who is Whitman?
Article currently states "Whitman later said that it "would have been better" if he had died immediately after giving the Pueblo speech.[24]" However, there is no other reference to "Whitman" on the page to explain who this might be. I realize there is a ref to a book, but I'm too lazy to check that out as it requires registration. I realize this may be a non-notable Whitman, but the total lack of context for the quote is a bit jarring, esp. in a Good Article. CAVincent (talk) 05:03, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
