On this day, 170 years ago, Edgar Allan Poe died in Baltimore. Before that he lived much of his life here and claimed Richmond, VA as his hometown.
From the grave of Jane Stanard to the graves of Francis Allan and John Allan, Poe walked here.
They are not dead—and neither are their stories. Their memory offers a mirror—and a map—for the living. With every grave or haunting story that I study, I toast those who came before us. As a literature professor and cemetery historian, my work combines my love of words and the stories of those from the past. Welcome! -Sharon Pajka
