I am sorry to say that I doubt it is original. The recording would have to had been made in 1891 or so. Compare it to others of that period and you will notice a sharp difference. The technology was just not there yet. At least this recording is far too forward for that period. So sad to say. Cause i wish it was real. I did exhaustive research on this period of recording. He was hardly able to speak in the 1890's. It requires a great deal of volume to make this kind of record. But I wish I wish
Amusing to read comments by nonentities who think that, if they don't get his poetry, the problem is with the poetry.

If you append the phrase “And not a single fuck was given that day” to the end of Walt Whitman’s poems, they make a lot more sense.

America
Centre of equal daughters, equal sons,
All, all alike endear'd, grown, ungrown, young or old,
Strong, ample, fair, enduring, capable, rich,
Perennial with the Earth, with Freedom, Law and Love,
A grand, sane, towering, seated Mother,
Chair'd in the adamant of Time.

What a marvel and divine stroke of inspiration to actually record the man himself. His voice fitted his verse: very Yankee-sounding.
