What did Edgar Allan Poe call Boston?

Answer 1

Poe probably spent some of his first three years in Boston, the city where he was born, with his traveling-actor parents, and his mother, Elizabeth Arnold Hopkins Poe, left him a miniature portrait when she died in Richmond, Virginia with the inscription: 'For my little son Edgar, who should ever love Boston, the place of his birth, and where his mother found her best, and most sympathetic friends.' Poe's foster family resided in Richmond, Virginia, and the only time Poe spent any significant time in Boston during his adult life was when he enlisted in the US Army, and he was stationed at Fort Independence in Boston where he published his first small book of poetry, 'Tamerlane and Other Poems,' with the authorship listed as 'A Bostonian.' Poe famously called the Boston literati Frogpondians; a title inspired by the Frog Pond in Boston Common, and he did give lectures in Boston from time to time though he never enjoyed the city like his mother surely must have.
