Extremely cool story.
Here's another one - probably apocryphal.
When I was attending West Point, there was a story circulating among the cadets that Poe was kicked out of that august institution for showing up for a parade once in his belts (these white, dress belts that represent ammo belts) - and nothing else.
Little article that mentions the story and refutes it at:

Not near as cool as your story, and probably not even true, but it's a bit of lore that's been making the rounds for ages.
