With Walt Whitman in Camden (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

A firsthand account of one of the final years of Whitman’s life, With Walt Whitman in Camden is a near transcript of daily conversations between Whitman and Traubel. Traubel took copious notes of their conversations, and recorded hundreds of other details of the poet’s life, making this volume indispensable reading for any student of Whitman—as the poet asked the author to speak for him after his death.
