Stephen Collins Foster was born on July 4th, 1826 in Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania. He taught himself song writing and music composition. Foster published his first song at age 18, and eleven more by the time he was 24. He then married and became a professional songwriter. Some of the more popular songs composed by Foster include Oh, Susana, Camptown Races, and My Old Kentucky Home, although he has composed many other well-known American folk songs. Because there was no music industry to speak in his time, and because Foster didn't perform his music personally, he didn't make very much money from his compositions. Foster died on January 13th, 1864.
