Stephen Collins Foster , 1826/07/04 (Lawrenceville (Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania‒1864/01/13 (New York). Chiefly self-taught as a composer and flageolet-player, Foster enjoyed enormous vogue as a composer and author of genuine American folk song. He died in poverty in the Bowery.

Way down upon the Suwanee river,
Far, far away,
There‘s where my heart is turning ever,
There‘s where the old folks stay…

—Stephen Collins Foster (1826‒1864)
