Product Information
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. Besides a young Whitman, the circle included actor Edwin Booth; trailblazing stand-up comic Artemus Ward; psychedelic drug pioneer and author Fitz Hugh Ludlow; and brazen performer Adah Menken, famous for her Naked Lady routine. Central to their times, the artists managed to forge connections with Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mark Twain, and even Abraham Lincoln. This vibrant tale, packed with original research, offers the pleasures of a great group biography like The Banquet Years or The Metaphysical Club . Justin Martin shows how this first bohemian culture-imported from Paris to a dingy Broadway saloon-seeded and nurtured an American tradition of rebel art that thrives to this day.

"Engaging...Theidea of the artist as outsider or rebel (at least the American version ofit)-and, indeed, the thing that, a century later, would be called acounterculture-can be traced to Clapp and Pfaff's. Martin's book is a livelyand intelligent entree into that heretofore mostly forgotten world."-- ClevelandPlain Dealer, "It'srare for a book to conjure the feeling of being in a bar with one's rowdiestand most interesting friends. Rebel Souls...does just that."-- TheARTery, Kirkus Reviews , BEA & ALA Book Guide, 5/15/14 [An] entertaining cultural history…The author's solid research into the connections of these curiously varied men and women makes this a wonderful story of one of the world's odd little cultural cliques." Publishers Weekly , 6/30/14 An engaging history of a literary underground…Though Walt Whitman is the best-known of the group, readers may find themselves drawn to his lesser-known comrades…Martin's writing rises to the occasion…A worthwhile read…Introduces armchair literary historians to a dazzling cast of eccentrics."

Booklist , starred review, 8/1/14 This is popular history the way it should be, well-researched and authoritative yet demotic in idiom and unpretentious in presentation, a darn good read." Wall Street Journal , 9/6/14 Elaine''s, the Algonquin Hotel, the White Horse and Cedar taverns: These and a few other Manhattan establishments have become legendary as places for writers and artists…On the evidence of Justin Martin''s Rebel Souls, the long-defunct watering hole Pfaff''s deserves similar fame…[Martin] is a fluent, companionable writer, and he manages to weave his many biographical strands into an engaging narrative—no mean feat…The experience of reading Rebel Souls is a bit like hovering on the sidewalk near the entrance to Pfaff''s, listening to the sounds of jollity and vehemence wash up from the basement below. Mr. Martin does a fine job of making us feel that we''re back on antebellum Broadway." EDGE , 8/29/14 Martin''s sharp and elegiac prose follows the lives of the Bohemians, many who meet tragic ends. Their stories are grandly entertaining to read, and Martin rescues a large chunk of our cultural history." The ARTery, 9/4/14 It's rare for a book to conjure the feeling of being in a bar with one's rowdiest and most interesting friends. Rebel Souls…does just that, highlighting a group of daring individualists who helped shape American culture…Martin gives us a different side of Whitman: A struggling poet trying to find his place both in the world and among a coterie of noisy fellow travelers. These fellow artists were some of the most interesting characters to haunt American letters and stages in the days just before, during and just after the war…In Rebel Souls, Justin Martin renders those times, these bold Americans and the places they strode with telling detail. It's a story about the risks and rewards of being an original and the far-reaching effects this can have."

Los Angeles Review of Books , 9/11/14 [A] compelling, insightful group biography…Vividly describes not only Pfaff's heyday, but also how Clapp's coterie, once it was dispersed by the chaos, duties, and opportunities brought by the Civil War, came to define an unmistakably American species of rebel artist…Martin sets himself an ambitious task, and rises to it in the structure and reach of his telling. In 1860, the war scatters his protagonists, whose fates he follows for the latter two-thirds of Rebel Souls like a literary LoJack...Martin's done a remarkable job bringing ‘those times, that place' very much alive through his painstaking research…Pfaff's rebel souls, Martin makes plain, are all around us." Roanoke Times , 9/11/14 Rebel Souls is at once a recreation of New York during the mid-19th century and a group biography of people who changed the way Americans viewed art, politics and themselves…A muralesque portrait of a group of intentional misfits who would, in the middle of the 19th century, help transform American literature, theater and journalism and forever alter the way we look at ourselves and our society.", "Inthis captivating study, Martin transports the reader to the 1850s inside smokyPfaff's saloon-the meeting place of the US's first Bohemians...Thanks tometiculous research, Martin was able to re-create the Bohemian scene, andWhitman's place in it, in vivid detail.
