American author, poet, and editor Nathaniel Parker Willis's Famous Persons and Places is primarily composed of personal portrayals and his traditional sketches of prominent contemporaries. The book contains value and is independent of its literary merits to a certain degree. Willis worked with several notable American writers, including Edgar Allan Poe and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and became the highest-paid magazine writer of that time.
