A Union Army soldier, who was an incredibly brave emergency surgeon on the Civil War battlefield, had been witness to the horrifying sights and sounds of battle. Helping soldiers survive more than just battle wounds, but mutilations, amputations, surgeries, this sensitive and courteous man as early documents describe him as, not only left a lasting legacy serving as a Union soldier, but would leave such a silent legacy worldwide that I would dare think most have experienced his contribution to the world while never actually knowing his name. However, before he could leave his mark on the world, he would have to endure a long, painful, downward mental spiral, as he uses what we so widely use now to actually comfort him through his instability then. Find out who this man is and what this legacy means to us, on this episode of the Missing Chapter.
