Edward Coote Pinkney

Edward Coote Pinkney (1802–1828) was an American poet, born in London and raised in Baltimore, who served as a midshipman in the United States Navy and later practised law. He died at the age of twenty-five.

His slender output, including Poems (1825), contains a few graceful songs that earned him a lasting place in anthologies, notably “A Health”.
