The Forgotten Poe's...

Narrated by:

By:
in 1831 Edgar Allan Poe's military career was over, his relationship with John Allan had all but collapsed, and the future before him was uncertain.
But before we continue Edgar's story, we're stepping back to meet two people history has largely forgotten.
His siblings.
In Episode 4, we're exploring the lives of William Henry Leonard and Rosalie Poe, two siblings whose stories have been overshadowed by one of literature's greatest names. We'll try to trace their lives after the death of Eliza Poe, the heartbreaking separation of the Poe children, Henry's life as a sailor and Rosalie's quiet existence in Richmond and the very different paths each sibling was forced to walk.
Along the way we'll uncover the remarkable similarities between Edgar and Henry, the mystery surrounding Rosalie's life, and the family that remained quietly woven through Edgar's story, even when history chose not to remember them.
