It’s interesting to me what high ranking military leaders did after the Civil War was over and how they handled a return to civilian life. Everyone knows of course that Grant became POTUS and Lee a College President. More than a few got involved with railroads and in the growing Insurance business, and some ran for office. But what about the majority of the Generals, Admirals and prominent Colonels? Where were they employed and how well did they adjust to relatively mundane lives after the experience of commanding in the most stressful conditions one can imagine?
