1 January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849
2. Poe was left an orphan at the age of 3 when he was adopted by a childless man named Allan. I think the fact he was left at such a young age had to have an influence on his life. He also wasn't very successful in college or the military. All of these factors plus his drug abuse had an influence on his writing.A childhood event that influenced Edgar Allan Poe's writing is his mothers death.
3. Poe died in at Washington College Hospital in Baltimore, MD, on October 7, 1849. There is some disagreement about the cause of death; some attribute it to delirium tremens, others to heart disease, epilepsy, syphilis, meningeal inflammation, cholera, even rabies. The true cause will probably never be known.
4. Edgar Allan Poe thought of himself as a Richmonder, a true southern gentleman; therefore he considered Virginia his home This is not surprising since he grew up mostly in Virginia and worked there as well for some time.
Poe considered himself a Virginian from Richmond. He thought of himself as a southern gentleman.

5. The Edgar Allan Poe Society acknowledges that Poe personally most considered Virginia as his home; however it considers Baltimore as the place that truly defines Edgar Allan Poe both from the perspective of his life and his work
6. The US Military Academy at West Point
7. I think it went bad because his wife basically cheated on him when he was away.
8. It was scary and creepy.
9. The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been claimed as the first detective story;[1][2] Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination".[1] Similar works predate Poe's stories, including Das Fräulein von Scuderi (1819) by E.T.A. Hoffmann[3] and Zadig (1748) by Voltaire.[4]
