Your book has eloped with my World Atlas. It's really embarassing to lose a book that oversized.
I think you may be on to something, Elizabeth. It seems a stretch to me that medicine was sophisticated enough in the late 1800's to identify Benteen as a carrier.

The officer corp. of that era carries the total baggage of the CW, The ranks of it are filled with one eyed, one armed, one legged lame and mentally "war stressed" individuals. The "pecking order" picodilos of the Brevet rank crap is on-going, stupid and consuming. Heck, I am still trying to figure out how Sturgis got the Colonelcy of the Regt. and GAC the oak leaves. Sturgis' "independant command" record is an abomination! Forrest practically destroyed his command when Surgis had a 3-1 advantage in 1864. Moylan, just like most of the officer's still living, they catered to Libbie, afterall, she had the ear of Presidents and the General Public.

To return this to Myles Moylan . . . .
Chuck and I just visited the graves of Myles and Lottie here in San Diego. We would love to visit their last residence if it still exists.
If someone has a copy of Men with Custer handy, will you please look to see if it lists Moylan's last residence?
Thank you!
Diane

Thanks very much, Ron!
I located the address because the house is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is now used for lawyers' offices. They let us wonder throughout the house, which was really neat.
We're still trying to figure out why Moylan retired to San Diego.
