Edger Allen Poe was born on January 19, 1809 in Boston, Massachusetts and he would grow up to be a successful man but he wasn't until after he died. His childhood was bad. His mom died when he was three and he never had a dad that was there to stick around. Before all of this he had a troubled life. He had a bad gambling problem because he could not afford school.
