Abstract
- An essay is presented that explores the efforts of Charleston and Sullivan's Island in South Carolina to include writer Edgar Allan Poe in their cultural history despite the lack of detailed documentary evidence of his activities there. Topics covered include Poe's enlistment in the U.S. Army leading to him being stationed in Sullivan's Island, the writer's 1843 story "The Gold-Bug" being set on and around the island, and some poems suggesting Poe's connection with Charleston.
