Upon exploration of Mr. Poe's life I had stumbled on (or forced upon it was an assignment after all) a few facts that you may find interesting. Poe's life began at the end of his mother and father's. His mother passed on December 8 of 1811, his father had apperantlty passed within a few days. Poe had gone to school and excelled however despite concentrating on schooling he was also very physically fit he swam against heavy tides for 6 or 7 miles up the James River. Poe had foreshadowed his future when he was younger, he had mastered even the most complex works in the Latin language. He wrote his first two lined poem in 1824 however it was never published. before joining the army he had inheirited a large sum of money and baught a mansion for his family in Richmond. The remainder of his life seemed to be as usual and you should know it from school.
The End
