Hypatia: NaJoPoMo 11/30
Hypatia Started conversation Nov 11, 2011
We had an author talk yesterday evening at the library. I won't bore you with the details other than to say that I learned something interesting that is appropriate to share since this is Veteran's Day.
The name of the book is "Soldier's Heart: A Tale of Love and Conflict in Civil War Missouri" and was written by Jeremy Webb Rusk, a lovely man and a descendant of the Webbs who founded Little DooDah. It is one of those non-fiction novels that give catalogers fits.
The interesting bit is the title. During the Civil War period the term 'soldier's heart' referred to what we call PTSD.

I did not know that, Hypatia. Thanks for the tidbit.

I now have a very strong urge to get hold of the book and jolly well catalogue it. I love a challenge.
