Walt Whitman was an American poet that lived between 1819-1892. He was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism; he is one of the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the father of free verse. When he died, a public viewing of his body was held at his Camden home; over 1,000 people visited in 3 hours. His family's tomb is built into a hillside in Harleigh Cemetery in Camden.
