More federal employees who went on to become famous
Here are a few more federal employees who went on to become famous. Or, in one case, the other way around.
In 1864, poet Walt Whitman got a job as a clerk in the Bureau of Indian Affairs at the Interior Department. In 1865, however, he was fired from his job, possibly due to the content of one of his books of poetry. He later obtained a job in the Attorney General’s office, interviewing former Confederate soldiers for pardons.
