Wednesday, February 8, 2012
5:30PM-7:00PM
Margaret Humphreys, the Josiah Charles Trent Professor in the History of Medicine at Duke University, will present a paper outlining the components of the best and worst of Civil War medicine, and argue that the conditions in southern hospitals were so far inferior to those of the north that it probably made a difference to the war effort.
