As a double amputee(legs) and very privy to the immediate recovery in the era of modern medicine, I still can't imagine how horrible it would have been to suffer an amputation. Perhaps the original wound in comparison made it "less" horrific to the victim. But sheesh, 3 days following amputation, even with strong pain meds via IV, the immediate recovery was bruta for me times 2. These poor souls suffered. Miraculous they survived in the era pre-infection prevention. God bless them and all our wounded veterans.

The surgeons fully expected an infection to happen after amputation. 'Laudable puss' as it was called was looked upon as a good sign that the body was healing itself with thick, yellow pus. However clear, foul smelling pus was a death sentence as it indicated sepsis, or that the infection had spread to the blood and not just localized.

That’s another great place to visit! I cannot imagine how the patients and Dr’s, and nurses, and women from around the battlefields, withstood the gruesomeness of those amputations, bullets being removed, the medical treatment in all matters, usually with no anesthesia, nothing for pain…my God, the agony is only imagined (if never going through that) those poor people!!!

The hook like object that is mentioned to pull skin back is actually a Tenaculum, it was used to hook an artery and would have a suture looped around it, once the artery was pulled forward the suture could be slipped over it and tied off.

My great great grandpa fought in the Civil War. He was in the 6th infantry from Alabama. In my research on that regiment, he was at Culp's Hill on July 2. According to his war record on Fold3, he received a "g s wound to the head" and ended up "in the hands of the enemy". Was sent to field hospital and then sent first to Ft McHenry then to Ft Delaware in Delaware for reminder of war. Amazing that not only did he survive the gunshot wound to the head considering possible infection, but also being a prisoner of war.
