ABOUT the author Clement C. Moore... Clement Clark Moore was born in New York City in 1779 and was the son of Benjamin Moore, who participated in George Washington's presidential inauguration.
At age nineteen, Moore graduated from Columbia University, the top of his class in Oriental and Classical literature. He spoke fluent French, Hebrew, Italian, Greek, and Latin. He was a skilled violinist and organist, as well as a published poet.
At age twenty-four, he married Catherine Elizabeth Taylor, with whom he raised nine children.
In 1822, Moore wrote THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS as a yuletide gift for his children--modeling his version of Saint Nicholas after a Dutch workman in their neighborhood.
After a full life of teaching and scholarly pursuits, Moore died in 1863 and was buried in Saint Luke's churchyard in New York. Each year, Christmas Eve brings many vistiors to Moore's memorial site--to donate gifts to the underprivileged and enjoy a minister's recital of the famous holiday poem.
