Edgar Allan Poe in the Military
Edgar Allan Poe’s name evokes images of ravens, tell-tale hearts, and all things eerie; but before he became the master of the macabre, he was a private in the U. S. Army and a West Point cadet. In this talk, the Poe Museum’s curator Chris Semtner will explore Poe’s brief military career and the ways it inspired some of his classic tales and poems.
