He became well skilled at writing when he was younger, and he wrote for newspapers. Walter lived with a family of eleven. He was involved with many democratic activities. Walt Whitman was born in 1819, near Huntington, Long Island, New York. Walt Whitman lived with a family of eleven. Walt was the second oldest. His fathers name was Walter Whitman.

For a brief time, Walt was an office boy for a physician and then he helped in a law firm. His next job was an apprentice to a printer. In the printing office, Walt learned how to spell, punctuate and acquired the rudiments of prose style. When Walt Whitman was younger, he use to write for his own newspaper called, "Long Islander." He only kept it going for about one year though. Working with newspapers before he started his own, Walt learned how to use the equipment needed for the making of newspapers. Walt was active with many political activities. One of the activities was when the U. S. A. was having a war with Mexico in the middle 1800s. Walt Whitman loved to write poems about Abraham Lincoln. He was also furious at Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Boothe, because Abraham had been a good president. Nobody could ever be just like Abraham.

awo2partner="PHILLYROADS"; View all traffic for the Philadelphia area Part of I-76, the Walt Whitman Bridge spans the Delaware River between South Philadelphia and Gloucester City, New Jersey. (Photo by Delaware River Port Authority.) THE DELAWARE TUNNEL? When the Benjamin Franklin Bridge opened in 1926, officials foresaw the need for a new fixed crossing between Philadelphia and Camden. The first plan - for a tunnel - was proposed by the Delaware River Tunnel Corporation. From 1928 to 1930, various bridge and tunnel proposals (Philadelphia-Camden and South Philadelphia-Gloucester) were submitted as countermeasures for constructing a toll bridge at the current site of the Delaware Memorial Bridge. The proposed bridge and tunnel locations were thought to be less obstructive to shipping and naval operations than the Delaware site downriver. In 1934, the Delaware River Tunnel Corporation received legislative approval for a tunnel between South Philadelphia and Gloucester, near the current site of the Walt Whitman Bridge. Throughout the rest of the 1930's, officials sought to obtain $20 million in loans from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC). However, the outbreak of World War II postponed plans for the second crossing. During the late 1940's, the Philadelphia City Planning Commission developed plans for an expressway network covering the Philadelphia-Camden metropolitan area, in anticipation of postwar traffic growth. The following two alternative plans emerged from the study:

46. Reminiscences Of Walt Whitman - 02.06 Then, one day, I was stopped on Washington Street by a friend who made this startling announcement walt whitman is in town; I have seen him! http://www.theatlantic.com/unbound/poetry/whitman/walt.htm

As originally published in The Atlantic Monthly February 1902 Reminiscences of Walt Whitman by John Townsend Trowbridge I Then, one day, I was stopped on Washington Street by a friend who made this startling announcement: "Walt Whitman is in town; I have seen him!" When I asked where, he replied: "At the stereotype foundry, just around the corner. Come along! I'll take you to him." The author of Leaves of Grass had loomed so large in my imagination as to seem almost superhuman; and I was filled with some such feeling of wonder and astonishment as if I had been invited to meet Socrates or King Solomon. We found a large, gray-haired and gray-bearded, plainly dressed man, reading proof-sheets at a desk in a little dingy office, with a lank, unwholesome-looking lad at his elbow, listlessly watching him. The man was Whitman, and the proofs were those of his new edition. There was a scarcity of chairs, and Whitman, rising to receive us, offered me his; but we all remained standing except the sickly looking lad, who kept his seat until Whitman turned to him and said, "You'd better go now; I'll see you this evening." After he had gone out, Whitman explained: "He is a friendless boy I found at my boarding place. I am trying to cheer him up and strengthen him with my magnetism." My readers may think this a practical but curiously prosaic illustration of these powerful lines in the early poems: "To any one dying, thither I speed and twist the knob of the door.

Whitman continued to write and in 1855 he privately published a book of twelve poems entitled, Leaves of Grass . In the introduction to the book Whitman proclaimed himself the symbolic representative of common people. The sexual content of the poems resulted in some critics declaring it to be an immoral book.

Walt Whitman: From Song of Myself (1855) I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass. My tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air, Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same, I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin, Hoping to cease not till death. Creeds and schools in abeyance, Retiring back a while sufficed at what they are, but never forgotten, I harbor for good or bad, I permit to speak at every hazard, Nature without check with original energy. Houses and rooms are full of perfumes, the shelves are crowded with perfumes, I breathe the fragrance myself and know it and like it, The distillation would intoxicate me also, but I shall not let it. The atmosphere is not a perfume, it has no taste of the distillation, it is odorless, It is for my mouth forever, I am in love with it

From Pedro Mir's Countersong to Walt Whitman Song of Ourselves Translated from the Spanish by Jonathan Cohen "Su traducción me ha fascinado. Sin ser literal, ni mucho menos, es tan fiel y conserva tanto el estilo mismo y en general el espíritu del poema, que a veces pienso que supera el original." [Your translation fascinates me. Without being literal, not at all, it is so faithful and preserves the same style and in general the spirit of the poem so much, that sometimes I think it surpasses the original.] — Pedro Mir, letter to Jonathan Cohen I, a son of the Caribbean, Antillean to be exact. The raw product of a simple Puerto Rican girl and a Cuban worker, born precisely, and poor, on Quisqueyan soil. Overflowing with voices, full of eyes wide open throughout the islands, I have come to speak to Walt Whitman, a kosmos, of Manhattan the son. People will ask, Who are you? I understand. Nobody had better ask me who Walt Whitman is.

Walt Whitman Leaves of Grass A few select quotes from the 9th edition 1891 Song of Myself I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass. A child said What is the grass? fetching it to me with full hands, How could I answer the child? I do not know what it is any more than he. I guess it must be the flag of my disposition, out of hopefull green stuff woven. Or I guess it is the handkerchief of the Lord, A scented gift and remembrancer designedly dropt, Bearing the owner's name someway in the corners, that we may see and remark, and say Whose? Or I guess the grass is itself a child, the produced babe of the vegetation. Or I guess it is a uniform hieroglyphic, And it means, Sprouting alike in broad zones and narrow zones, Growing among black folks as among white
