# Rebel Souls: Walt Whitman & America's First Bohemians

In the mid-19th century, Pfaff's Saloon in Manhattan hosted a circle of radicals who changed American society and helped set poet Walt Whitman on the path to immortality. In "Rebel Souls: Walt Whitman and America's First Bohemians," Justin Martin tells the story of this colorful group of artists-regulars at Pfaff's, who are "rightly considered American's original bohemians."
