Poe

were to begin with this great American writer. to start off he was born January 19, 1809 in Boston Massachusetts and died on October 7th 1849 in  Baltimore Maryland he was 40 years old. Edgar Allen Poe was considered to be a part of the American romantic movement. he is best know for his use of the supernatural in his writings. Edgar lived most of his life in Baltimore where he also got the name for his famous poem the raven after the Baltimore raven. the actual cause of Poe death is unknown but some say it was alcohol, brain congestion stuff like that.

some may not know but Edgar Allen Poe enlisted into the army under the name of Edgar a perry. he did this cause he was unable to support himself he said he was 22 years old when he was actually 18. clearly he was a huge success while he was alive because even now 100 plus years later we still read his stuff which is quite amazing to think that cause alot of the writers today do not have the same long term affect as this good gentlemen has done is awesome.
