Fitz-Greene Halleck (1790-1867) was an American poet known for his wit and satires. He was almost a member of the “Knickerbocker Group” in New York. From 1832 to 1849 he served as John Jacob Astor’s private secretary and later served as an original trustee for the Astor Library. Well like during the 19th century, he is most known for the satire written with Joseph Drake of New York society known as the “Croakers” in 1819. He is the only American poet tin the “Literary Walk” in Central Park, New York City. COLL1868ABFN
