Fun Fact

(U.S.)
I bet you didn't know, but Edgar died with clothes on that weren’t his own, and that he died on Election Day. He grew up with very strong poverty around him 24/7.
He also wrote the Raven while his 13-year-old wife/cousin was dying of T.B. (tuberculosis), as did his mother die of T.B. (Poe was 2 years old) and so did his foster mother, Francis Allan, they all died of T.B.
Poe also went into the military and went to one of the best private schools in the country at his time as a teenager.
I personally don't like him, or his writing, but I had to do a report about him, so I thought I might share my knowledge at all you Poe fans!
Bye
