I know. But I've read an ample biography of Poe. I don't think that many people know of Poe and West Point.I wonder how many people today know that....Poe attended West Point Military Academy? Yes he did. JimB.
Do you have this book? I do.I know. But I've read an ample biography of Poe. I don't think that many people know of Poe and West Point.
Why did he get kicked out, ohioboy?I did! He got kicked out too!
His foster father John Allan was very well off. When he died, he left Poe nothing.I read years ago that Poe was forever begging money from his uncle and, when denied, became churlish and back biting, that he was paranoid --forever retaliating against some insult.
According to my book, although John Allan helped him get into West Point, he was unhappy with that life. He was expelled due to behavior issues. Poe was of a mind to get expelled instead of being shamed and court martialed.Why did he get kicked out, ohioboy?
