Edgar Allen Poe
Edgar Allen Poe was born in 1809 and he died in 1849. He was born in Boston to David Poe who was an Alcoholic and Elizabeth Poe who was an actress. His father left Edgar when he was 2 years old. After that Edgar Allen Poe's mother took him and his kids to Virginia. A year later when he was 3 years old she passed away.
After his parents died he was give to John and Frances Allan. They sent him to England and he was raised in boarding schools. While Edgar was in college he didn't have enough money to survive so he had to leave college. He then had to try other stuff in order to survive, such as working at his step-father's business and joining the army, because he didn't have any money.
Many people thought that Edgar was insane. Even though he never attended a Sanitarium and there wasn't any evidence that he suffered from "madness." Also, every woman that came in to his life and was important to him, died. Edgar Allen Poe did suffer from Alcoholism, depression and also had a gambling problem. After, he got married to his cousin Virginia Clemm when she was 13 and he was 27. A couple years later she died and Edgar began writing murder stories. By that time he was an alcoholic and going through a crazy depression state of mind. In 1849 he died and was buried in Baltimore's Presbyterian Cemetery.
