Dr. Hunter Holmes McGuire

I'm probably wrong, just throwing it out there! :smile: I'm not expert. :wink:

Edit - No, you're not wrong. Your answer is correct.

Welcome to the trivia game, dixie1861. Hope you'll come back and play again.

It was actually 2, surgeons Hunter Holmes McGuire and Harvey Black
Mr. Black actually has a book of his letters published.
(http://www.fowb.org/index.php/news/publications/the-legend-of-stonewall-jacksons-arm/ )

Edit - Your source supports your contention that a second surgeon was involved. I can't find any source indicating what Harvey Black's middle name might have been, if he had one, so you get credit for a correct response.

Answer: Dr. Hunter Holmes McGuire

Edit - I consider "Doctor" to be a title, rather than part of the man's name, so answers including "Hunter Holmes McGuire" will be considered correct, regardless of whether or not they include the title of "Dr." or the academic degree of "M.D."

However, when a question asks for "full name," a correct answer must include the subject's full middle name (and if the subject had more than one middle name, a correct answer would have to include all of them). Thus, "Hunter McGuire" and "Hunter H. McGuire" are not correct answers.
