The four years of the Civil War saw bloodshed on a scale unprecedented in the history of the United States. Thousands of soldiers and sailors from both sides who survived the horrors of the war faced hardship for the rest of their lives as amputees. Now Guy R. Hasegawa presents the first volume to explore the wartime provisions made for amputees in need of artificial limbs-programs that, while they revealed stark differences between the resources and capabilities of the North and the South, were the forebears of modern government efforts to assist in the rehabilitation of wounded service membArtificial limbsUnited StatesHistory19th centuryArtificial limbsConfederate States of AmericaHistoryAmputeesServices forUnited StatesHistory19th centuryAmputeesServices forConfederate States of AmericaHistorySoldiersMedical careUnited StatesHistory19th centurySoldiersMedical careConfederate States of AmericaHistoryUnited StatesHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865Medical careUnited StatesHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865TechnologyArtificial limbsHistoryArtificial limbsHistory.AmputeesServices forHistoryAmputeesServices forHistory.SoldiersMedical careHistorySoldiersMedical careHistory.973.7/75Hasegawa Guy R910352MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785509703321Mending broken soldiers3737426UNINA
