SUMMARY:One Vast Hospital - Downtown Frederick Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Explore the incredible Civil War history in Downtown Frederick with expert guides from the National Museum of Civil War Medicine. \nEvery Saturday at 10:30 a.m. and Sunday at 12:00 p.m. from April until September\, docents from the National Museum of Civil War Medicine will explain how Frederick became “One Vast Hospital.” Arguably the most trying moment in city’s history came after the Battle of Antietam in the fall of 1862. The town’s population doubled when 8\,000 wounded soldiers were delivered by ambulance to make-shift hospitals throughout Frederick. Walking tours last for an hour to an hour and a half. \nTickets are $15 and include admission to the National Museum of Civil War Medicine in addition to the walking tour. Tickets are free for Museum members\, but you must still reserve your spot. Reservations will be accepted on a first come first served basis. \nContact Chris Reed at chris.reed@civilwarmed.org for more information.

SUMMARY:“‘Irritable Heart’\, Shell Shock\, Battle Fatigue\, and PTSD: The History of Combat Stress Reactions” Program at Historic Newcomer House
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, July 25\, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. at the historic Newcomer House on the Antietam National Battlefield\, Dr. Stephen A. Goldman will present a fascinating talk on “Irritable Heart\,” Shell Shock\, Battle Fatigue\, and PTSD: The History of Combat Stress Reactions. This program is FREE to the public. \nIn 1996\, the Office of the Inspector General Evaluation Report on the Management of Combat Stress Control in the Department of Defense noted that “Combat stress is not new\,” its documentation “dat[ing] back to the Civil War.” Using data from that conflict\, World War I\, World War II\, Korea\, and Vietnam\, psychiatrist and war historian Dr. Stephen A. Goldman will examine how evolving concepts and knowledge of combat-related stress led to the American Psychiatric Association’s milestone 1980 classification of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).\nHe will then discuss the ongoing revision of PTSD diagnostic criteria based on accumulating experience and research from subsequent wars\, and the actual (as opposed to popularly believed) extent of PTSD among veterans\, up to and including those who have served in Iraqi\, Afghanistan\, or both theaters. \nStephen A. Goldman\, M.D. is a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association\, and the only physician to serve on the Abraham Lincoln Institute Board of Directors. His having treated and worked with those who have been in combat\, ongoing comprehensive study of veterans that spans 160 years\, and their ramifications are all exemplified in his groundbreaking book\, One More War to Fight: Union Veterans’ Battle for Equality through Reconstruction\, Jim Crow\, and the Lost Cause.
