Robert Frost
Robert Lee Frost was born in San Francisco, CA, on March 26, 1874. During the first few years of his life, Robert lived in San Francisco. However, soon after, his father, William, started to beat his wife Isabelle. So, when she learned that she was pregnant a second time, she decided to leave her husband with young Robert. They moved to the small town of Lawrence, where Robert's sister, Jeanie, was born in 1876. Having been uprooted from his home, taken away from his father to live in strange environments, and having to cope with a baby sister, made Robert a very confused and unhappy child. His mother soon returned to her husband in San Francisco, to see if they could work their problems out. They did not succeed very well. His father was still abusing his mother, and the family did not have enough money. All this made it a very unsettling environment for Robert, who mainly kept to himself.
On December 19, 1895, Elinor and Robert were married in a school room. Soon after, they had their first child together. Robert, then, in 1897, gained admission to Harvard and attended. Soon, he feared that he had tuberculosis and withdrew even though he had an excellent record there, unlike at Dartmouth. Regardless, his second child was born in Boston soon after. Their first child died a year later, in July 1900, and it brought much grief to the family. His mother died, too. Regardless, in a few years they had many more children. Later, in the 1910's Robert had his first book of poems published. This led to a successful life as a poet. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize four times and literary societies, colleges, and universities paid him tribute. The US Senate adopted a resolution of felicitation on his 75th birthday; the first such resolution ever given to a poet. He was appointed Consultant of Poetry at the Library of Congres
