Biographical/Historical Note
Mary Middleton Rutledge Fogg was born in 1801 in Charleston, South Carolina, to Henry Middleton and Septima Sexta Middleton Rutledge.

Much of her poetry reflects her pain and grief at having lost all three of her children between 1848-1862, including her work The Broken Harp. Additionally, she published works of fiction, religion, and education. Fogg lived in the Nashville area with her husband, Francis Brinley Fogg (1795-1880). Fogg was active in civic organizations in the Nashville area, including her work during the Civil War with the Soldiers Aide Society of Felicia Grundy Porter.
