             Robert Frost was born in San Francisco, California on March 26, 1874; his father was a journalist and local politician and his mother was a school teacher. When Robert was eleven years old his father died of tuberculosis and after expenses, left only $8 for the family to live off of. Soon after his death, the rest of the family moved to Lawrence, Massachusetts to live with grandparents. After several attempts to attend school, ongoing stomach problems kept Frost from attending public school. Eventually he was able to enter the public school system in fifth grade, with his mother as his teacher. He got through high school and shared the title of valedictorian with Elinor White, who eventually became his wife. Throughout his marriage to Elinor, they had six children: Elliott, Lesley, Carol, Irma, Marjorie, and Elinor Bettina; two of which died, one during infancy and the other at age four. He attended such colleges as Harvard and Dartmouth and he later taught at these schools, as well as Amherst College and the University of Michigan. Robert Frost was honored with the Pulitzer Prize four times in 1943, 1937, 1931, and 1924, the most times won. After a long life full of achievement, he died in January of 1963 in Boston.
