Backround of My Life (1874 - 1963)

My name is Robert Lee Frost and I was born in San Francisco, California on March 26, 1874. My parents are William Prescott Frost Jr. and Isabelle Moodie. My parents named me after a very famous man by the name of Robert E. Lee, who was the Confederate General during the time of the Civil War. My father was a teacher and a journalist along with my mother who was also a teacher. I am the oldest of 2 children and my sister's name is Jeanie Florence. Because both of my parents were teachers, I was exposed to the world of books and reading, studying the works of William Shakespeare and poets Robert Burns, and William Wordsworth.
