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.   Although free, register early for this ONLINE ONLY event:  vawarmemorial.org/events   Registration:  https://bit.ly/3OP0qrY
