[Millard]

Walt Whitman promoted the Paleo Diet and physical culture as part of a 47,000-word "Manly Health and Training" manifesto under the pseudonym "Moses Velsor" that was serialized in 13 weekly installments for The New York Daily Tribune in 1858:

"Manly Health and Training, With Off-Hand Hints Toward Their Conditions"
