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.
