The American Civil War is filled with incidents that illustrate some unique or interesting medical condition. In the Battle of Gettysburg, such events occurred to individuals whose names are well known, such as John Reynolds, Lewis Armistead, and of course, Dan Sickles. But others may be more obscure, like Collett Leventhorpe, Lucius Fairchild, and Elon Farnsworth. Utilizing both forensic medicine and medical history, this talk will examine some of those events through the performance of a historical autopsy.

Before entering private practice three years ago, Dr. Mathew Lively spent twenty years as a faculty physician at the West Virginia University School of Medicine where he conducted patient care, teaching, and research. He is the author of several articles on medical history topics and his first book, Calamity at Chancellorsville: The Wounding and Death of Confederate General Stonewall Jackson, was published by Savas Beatie in 2013.
