Re: Pharmacy in the Civil War



I happen to remember a little museum that would have many things of interest
in this area which all too frequently escapes researchers notice.  It is the
Fort Crawford (I believe that is the right name) Museum located in Prairie
du Chein, Wisconsin.  It has been a long time since I was there but I
distinctly remember a nice little library collection of original Mexican War
and Civil War medical texts and tools.

Hope that helps,
