To Bind their Wounds: Medicine in the US Civil War

Much of the popular sense of what medical care was like during the Civil War is based on what we see in Hollywood movies: wounded men told to “bite the bullet” and have a slug of whiskey as surgeons prepared to amputate. This talk will explore both the real challenges and the successes of doctors at the time.  The roles of women in caring for the wounded and ill on both sides of the conflict will also be examined.
