Nothing so far. Doubt he would try being a deserter? All I know is that he was severely injured in battle, was at Fort Monroe, went on furlough and then disappeared. Wonder if someone shot him as a deserter and left him lie wherever and forgotten forever?

Have you checked his military records at the National Archives? Did he file for a pension? Many times a soldier's hospital record cards are located within his military records, which will tell what his injuries were.
