The Loves and Death of Edgar Allan Poe.

CW5 Jack Cardwell A brilliant, but trouble author.

Had the world by the tail, CW5 Jack Cardwell, and threw it all away, apparently because of alcoholism. Dropped out of the University of Virginia and thrown out the United States Military Academy. Many just wish for the opportunity to enter one of these educational institutions!
He lived a tragic life but it's hard to feel sorry for him.

I didn't realize he died at 40! So young.
