GDG- Now: CW PTSD was: Custer: G'burg, LBH & Philbrick

[CWMHTours at aol.com]

Yes-  I have read anecdotes of the old grandfather or  uncle in the family 
who acted a little strange and would not speak for hours or  days and go 
wander.
 
The issue of CWPTSD is interesting though and I would wonder  if there IS a 
good study of it.
 
I learn a lot in here.  THNX guys!

I'm  not  familiar with anything like a serious study of PTSD in the   
post-CW
period.  If anybody knows of one, I, for one would be   interested.


Anything I have seen is just bits and pieces in various  books on wider  
topics.  But I am certain there is a gold mine  of information in material  
from 
post-war veterans  organizations.  I am somewhat familiar with what was  
published  by the organization for Veterans of the Fourteenth Connecticut   
Infantry, and tucked away in their "newsletters" and obituary notices  are  
glimpses of various men whose lives never really came back  together after 
the  
war, unable to hold responsible jobs, restless,  wandering.
