Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson started writing and publishing essays and poems in his early twenties, around the age of 22 or 23. He was a prolific writer and became known for his literary works and philosophical ideas at a relatively young age.
Ralph Waldo Emerson referred to the first shot fired at the Battle of Lexington in 1775 as the "shot heard round the world" because he believed it symbolized the start of a global movement for freedom and democracy. The event marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War and inspired other countries to challenge oppressive systems of government.
The battle of Concord was the first that the Americans won against the British. This was also where the "shot heard 'round the world" was immortalized by Ralph Waldo Emerson. The British had come to Concord after the initial battle at Lexington, and were defeated by thousands of militiamen who descended upon them.
He had four children with his second wife, Lydia ( whom he called Lidian) Jackson. His first wife, Ellen Louisa Tucker, died of tuberculosis less than two years after they wed, and they had no children. Emerson and Lidian had 4 children: Waldo, Edith, Ellen, and Edward Waldo. Ellen was named after Emerson's first wife at Lidian's suggestion. Waldo Emerson died of Scarlett Fever at the age of 5. "My son, a perfect little boy of five years and three months, had ended his earthly life. You can never sympathize with me; you can never know how much of me such a young child can take away. A few weeks ago I accounted myself a very rich man, and now the poorest of all." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
