Something fun and unusual for Freeper Civil War buffs. I've never heard of this before.

The commander of the 6th Florida was shot through the body at Shiloh. Before the war ended he had recovered and was back in command.

Thanks for the post Talisker. Apparently the therapeutic value wasn’t recognized during the war - I wonder if the bacteria has a medicinal use now?

Bump to send to the Civil War buffs in the family.

One of the more profound and unforgettable displays at the Atlanta History Center is an array of the typical civil war field surgeon’s tools. One look at that and you wonder how anyone survived being treated for their wounds. Crude saws and other tools, and then to think they did not have developed germ theory and sterilization techniques. Eeew...
To: Talisker
Neat! Thanks for posting.

I have visited re-enactment field hospitals for both the American revolution (Yorktown) and the Civil war (Ghettysburg).
By all accounts the Revolution, 85 years earlier, had better battlefield care.
Go Figure!

I saw such a kit at the Museum and Library of Confederate History, Greenville, SC. It gave me the willies, and I was combat field medic in Vietnam.

Me neither. My great-great grandfather was a Confederate soldier at Shiloh, TN. (We’re Tennesseans.) - My parents used to take me to Shiloh when I was a child. - He told my grandmother that Shiloh was awful, just awful; the biggest mess that he had ever experienced in his life. - The Bloody Pond at Shiloh is now faded a lot; but when I was a child, it was still rather dark, dark crimson. I’m 69.

Have you seen Amanda Blaine...in the hills of Shiloh?
Wandering through the morning rain...in the hills of Shiloh?
In her yellowed wedding gown...running through the heart of town.
Hear her humming soft and low...
Poor Amanda does not know 'twas ended forty years ago...
In the hills of Shiloh.

Luv your moniker. I had some Talisker (whisky...that is the correct spelling by the way in Scotland)) on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. It has a sort of petroleum taste from the waters that filter through the peat bogs.

And that taste IS peat - not to much, and not too little. But juuuust right! LOL!
