English: Simms was born in Charleston of Scottish-Irish ancestors. His mother died during his infancy, and his father failed in business and joined Coffee's Indian fighters. As a result, Simms was brought up by his grandmother. As he grew up, Simms worked as a clerk in a drug store and studied law, with the bar of Charleston admitting him to practice in 1827. However, he soon abandoned this profession for literature.
Mathew Brady died in 1896 and Levin C. Handy died in 1932. Photographs in this collection are in the public domain in the United States as works published before 1929 or as unpublished works whose copyright term has expired (life of author + 70 years).
