In keeping with my suggestion for the 20th Century, I'll go off the
political reservation and choose someone from the arts: Edgar Allen Poe.

Subject: Great/Important Virginians, 19th Century

Last week we had some interesting suggestions and comments about
greatest or most important 20th century Virginians.

This week, let's hear from folks about greatest or most important 19th
century Virginians.

NB: One of my colleagues suggested that I should phrase that, "greatest
or most important 19th century Virginians not named Robert E. Lee."
