The doctors and nurses who treated sick and wounded soldiers faced a daunting task: Antibiotics and the science of bacteriology didn’t exist; crude sanitation and polluted water were deadly. More Civil War soldiers died of disease than of battle wounds. Military doctors had to become medical explorers. And why were there so many amputations?
If you've ever attended a program or class presented by the popular lecturer Herb Kaufman, you know how interesting his programs are, and how he has a way of ferreting out the unusual stories and incidents of whatever topic he is discussing. As you may know, Herb is an expert on the medical history of the Civil War, and his programs on this topic are always popular and always entertaining.
And as a lover of history, you know how critical it is to keep history alive, especially today!
We would love to have your support, as we look to continue to make these programs available. Invite a friend!
