Stationed in Washington, D.C., he worked for the Boston Journal and a number of other newspapers, and made a name for himself as "Perley" the columnist. Poore also served as clerk of the Senate committee on printing public records, edited the Congressional Directory in 1869, and published a number of biographies of notable Americans.
