This and the following podcast episodes in this series are an alternate or what if history exercises. The episodes look at what might have happened if Edgar Allan Poe had chosen a different path - if he had decided to become a soldier after his time at West Point, and not one of the greatest of all American writers. And we invariably go off to discuss other subjects as well such as the rigid schedule at West Point and the influence of military life upon Poe’s writing.
