We had a great presentation from a guy that knows his stuff.

It is safe to say that Civil War medicine was often rather rough.

No antibiotics with little to no sanitation

were major problems in the struggle that gripped our nation.

Diseases and wounds caused so many to fall,

providing medical advancement opportunities for all.

The lessons learned save lives, both then and now.

The price paid for them was high, fallen soldiers take a bow.
