Jim,

   I did a little work on Fort Wilkins, when I work for the State Museum.  I
remember it had suicide rate of any US military post.  The Army Center of
Military History should be able to help.  Please Contact Cody Phillips at

Issues of the Army & Navy Journal are fairly common for the Civil War
years, probably less so for the following years.  If you want original
issues, try the historical newspaper dealers.  Here's some addresses:

Tim Hughes at http://www.rarenewspapers.com

Phil Barber at http://www.historicpages.com/

Ephemera & Paper Collectors Mall at http://www.historybuff.com/mall/

Periodyssey at http://www.periodyssey.com/

Richard Spellman doesn't have a web site but can be reached at
