Summary
In the shadow of the Civil War, a circle of radicals in a rowdy saloon changed American society and helped set Walt Whitman on the path to poetic immortality. Rebel Souls is the first book ever written about the colorful group of artists-- regulars at Pfaff's Saloon in Manhattan--rightly considered America's original Bohemians, including actor Edwin Booth, trailblazing stand-up comic Artemus Ward, psychedelic drug pioneer Fitz Hugh Ludlow, and brazen performer Adah Menken, famous for her Naked Lady routine
