individuals who
enjoy Civil War History, especially the aspects relating to Civil War
Medicine, while seeking to portray a historically correct medical
impression of that time period; with intentions of learning and
teaching others about Civil War medicine through like association.
* To support the Community of reenacting by presenting a historically correct field hospital of the 1861- 1865 period, whereby public education becomes the focus of teaching the true medical aspects concerning the Civil War.
