Robert Frost was born in San Fransisco, California on March 26, 1874. His parents were William Prescott Frost Jr., and Isabelle Moodie. Something Peculiar about Frost's life was how plauged with despair it was. At age 11 in 1885, Robert's father died, leaving the family with eight dollars. 15 years later, his mother died of cancer. In 1920, he had to commit his younger sister jeanie to a mental institution, where she died nine years after admission. Frost had six children with his wife Elinor Miriam White. Only two of his children outlived him. Many of his jobs were based in the world of academia.
Despite Frost's numerous setbacks in life, he still managed to be awarded four Pulitzer Prizes for poetry. Frost died on January 29, 1963.
