George Henry Boker
George Henry Boker was an American poet, playwright, and diplomat.
Boker was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His father was Charles S. Boker, a wealthy banker, whose financial expertness weathered the Girard National Bank through the panic years of 183840, and whose honour, impugned after his 1857 death, was defended many years later by his son in The Book of the Dead. Charles Boker was also a director of the Mechanics National Bank.
