The story includes the efforts of a county law enforcement agency sometimes bewildered in its ongoing attempts to capture a fugitive the media sensationalized as a &#8220;Wild Man.&#8221; It&#8217;s a tale of people in a place and at a time when the author came to manhood amid that hospital&#8217;s nearby valleys and surrounding forest and mountains.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eps1RfGT5I4&amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2331\" src=\"https:\/\/sbbch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/rc2.jpg\" alt=\"rc2\" width=\"726\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sbbch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/rc2.jpg 726w, https:\/\/sbbch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/rc2-300x276.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eps1RfGT5I4&amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\">Watch Video<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roland Cheek&#8217;s Stories\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Roland&#8217;s Facebook Page About The Dogged and the Damned: A tale inspired by the tragic story of a World War 11 combat soldier suffering the effects of what was, at the time, a little studied psychological impairment that, today, we call Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
