Every july for the past 25 years, the Gettysburg Anniversary Committee has hosted a living history village depicting calf life. Next we visit a union army surgeon and enbalmer and talk to reenactors about medical practices during the war. During the very beginning of the war, like i say, maybe around 1860, there were a lot of quack surgeons in the union army. Well, dr. Letterman took over the medical corps.

If the next soldier had blood poisoning, bone infection, or any disease, i am going to transmit it to the next sold
