Drawing on archival materials, the authors highlight the diversity and severity of psychological distress among white and African-American veterans of the Union army. Their findings concerning the recognition of veterans' post-traumatic stress disorders, treatment programs, and suicide rates will inform current studies on how to effectively cope with this enduring disability in former soldiers.
