Hello and thanks for allowing me to join your forum. I live in Tennessee and am interested in Civil War Medical. For the past 5 years I have collected and sold original period Civil War Medical books. It has been a long journey and I have seen and learned many things. I joined this forum to share with others who have the same period interest. Thanks.

Welcome aboard doc. May I either have my blue pills now or a discharge for being an imbecile? I actually found a man who was discharged after being confirmed as an imbecile.
Thanks for making me feel welcome. If any of you have any questions about the medical books issued to the medical staff during the Civil War (Union) feel free to ask. I have found the CSA docs carried much of the same books also. Just for fun I have posted a link to a couple of books that belonged to surgeons from both sides:
