Edgar Allan Poe was born January 19, 1809 in Boston.
In Boston on May 26, 1827, Poe enlisted in The United States Army as a private using the name Edgar A. Perry.
During this time, Poe married his young cousin, Virginia Clemm in Richmond on May 16, 1836.
The circumstances of Poe's death remain a mystery. After a visit to Norfolk and Richmond for lectures, he was found in Baltimore in a pitiable condition and taken unconscious to a hospital where he died on Sunday, October 7, 1849. He was buried in the yard of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Baltimore, Maryland
In personal appearance, Poe was a quiet, shy-looking but handsome man; he was slightly built, and was five feet, eight inches in height. His mouth was considered beautiful. His eyes, with long dark lashes, were hazel-gray.
The year 1846 was a tragic one. Poe rented the little cottage at Fordham, where he lived the last three years of his life



The common raven (Corvus corax) is a member of a family of birds known as the Corvidae, which includes jays, crows, and magpies.
Up to 24" from beak to end of tail.
The raven is the largest species of songbird and largest all-black bird in the world.
Ravens have large, stout bills, shaggy throat feathers, and wedge-shaped tails, visible best when in flight (as compared to the square tail feathers of a crow).
Ravens are excellent fliers, engaging in aerial acrobatics and sometimes soaring to great heights.
Life history: Ravens probably first breed at 3 or 4 years of age and mate for life. Ravens are probably very long-lived in the wild; one captive bird died of old age at 29 years
