""Whitman's few months in 1848 New Orleans have long been seen as both a crucial--and fairly mysterious--episode in his development. I can't count the number of times I've heard someone say how much we need a book on the subject. At long last, that book is now here. Schöberlein and Turpin have given us an invaluable study.""--T. R. Johnson, author, New Orleans: A Writer's City ""Whitman's tenure at the Crescent has long been the subject of speculation. While many scholars have suspected the consequence of Whitman's time in New Orleans, Whitman's Southern Sojourn reveals the substance of this period through exciting discoveries and compelling claims. It will be the authority on Whitman's southern sojourn for years to come.""--Jason Stacy, author, Walt Whitman's Multitudes: Labor Reform and Persona in Whitman's Journalism and the First Leaves of Grass, 1840-1855
