They never formally adopted him but he was with them well into young adulthood. He attended the University of Virginia but left after a year due to lack of money. He quarreled with John Allan over the funds for his education and his gambling debts. In 1827 having enlisted in the United States Army under an assumed name he published his first collection <i>Tamerlane and Other Poems</i> credited only to "a Bostonian".
