How Whitman’s Street Looked Then…
Choosing Camden • It is thought that Whitman made the choice to move to Camden because he wanted to be in close proximity to his brother & because the city reminded him of the Long Island, NY of his youth.
Choosing Camden • Whitman moved to Camden after suffering a stroke. • Camden was ideal for the poet both because it was a bustling port of Philadelphia and a rapidly developing city.
