About James Lusk Alcorn Jr. (CSA)

James Lusk Alcorn, Jr., committed suicide in 1879 after returning home from the war partially deaf and a drunkard (most likely from what today would be diagnosed as PTSD). An inscription on the monument at the family cemetery attributes James' death to the "insane war of rebellion" (apparently his father's words).
