Doctors in Australia: A Dr. John de Lisle Hammond, of Maitland, NSW, AUSTRALIA, directed me to a publication called the "Medical Directory of Australia", published by the Australian Medical Publishing Company for Australian doctors. He said he would imagine it should be available in a decent Reference Library. The records of the New South Wales Medical Board http://www.cundle.com.au/assoc/nswmb/nswmb.html are widely available on microfilm in Australia and qualifications will be given. Their list of registered Medical Practitioners appears in the NSW Gazette from 1838. The catalogue of The State Library of New South Wales http://dixson.slnsw.gov.au/ Macquarie Street, Sydney NSW 2000 AUSTRALIA, shows they hold 1838-1942 under reference number MDQ 328.6/1.

Chicago: American Medical Association, 1992. The American Medical Assoc. has collected information on the personal and professional backgrounds of more than 350,000 doctors who have practiced in the US. Some of the records date back to the early 1800s and continue through the year 1969, although the records kept rpior to 1907 do not contain as much information as the later files. These records are now in the possession of the National Genealogcial Society in Arlington, VA. Persons wishing to inquire about the records and search fees should write to the National Genealogical Society, 4527 17th Street, Arlington, VA 22207.

Municipal records contain licensing applications filed by shopkeepers, saloon keepers, peddlers, and other local business owners requesting permission to operate a business in a particular city or state. Applications often include the applicant's age, birthplace, marital sutatus, and residence. professional orgainizations often keep records on licensed professionals. Such orgainizations include the American Medical Association for medical practitioners, the national Education Association for techers, and the American Bar Associateion for lawyers. The St. Louis Boards of Pharmacy has records of druggist's licenses for the period 1893 to 1909. State and county archives sometimes have licensing records a well. For example, the PA State Archives has medical and dental licenses dating back to the late 1800s. Owners and masters of ships, yachts, and other marine vessel were licesnsed by the Bureau of marine Inspection and Navigation. Some licenses include birth dates and places, as well as citizenship status. Marine licenses can be found in the regions of the Nationsal Archives. Not only do marriage licenses, contain significant amounts of genealogical materials, motor vehicle registration records, maritime records, and occupational records shouldn't be overlooked for significant facts.

In the years that followed the surrender at Appomattox, the office would be asked to create both a medical museum and a medical history, using specimens and case histories gathered during the conflict; in response to a congressional mandate, to provide Civil War veterans with prostheses and the information needed for pension applications; and, for a brief period, to manage the medical care of freed slaves. As a result, for decades after the end of the conflict, the Army's surgeon generals dealt with war-related challenges while carrying out the department's historic mission of guarding the Army's health.

Format: Paperback, 400pp. ISBN: 0806908793 Publisher: Sterling Publishing Company, Incorporated Pub. Date: October 1994 >From the Publisher "...an excellent panorama of what military and civilian medical and sanitary efforts meant to soldiers on both sides of the Civil War. His chronological presentation shows how lessons were learned—or not—and how the procedures of individuals and groups and the treatment of individual patients developed. Most of the text consists of the words of those involved, which gives a feeling of personal participation; Denney provides brief, necessary introductions to set events in context and in which he describes planning for upcoming battles by surgeons stationed at every level of command, from that of an entire army down to that of the unit....The account of how hospital boats and trains were used—an aspect of the medical effort that is not widely known—is another of the best aspects of an informative and fascinating book."—Booklist. 422 pages (8 in color), 20 b/w illus., 7 X 10. >From the Publisher The Civil War created both crises and opportunities never before imagined by the medical professional. Doctors of the time were not prepared to deal with the staggering number and nature of wounds inflicted. And often, absolute necessity mothered many inventions, from new surgical instruments to the logistics of providing ambulance service on the battlefield. The brutal reality of the war pushed doctors to a new level of medical and surgical knowledge. In Civil War medicine 1861-1865, Dr. C. Keith Wilbur takes you on a detailed and fascinating tour through the medical history of this bloody and devastating war. Hundreds of illustrations, combined with well-researched and engaging text, tell the tale of the challenges presented to physicians with each new battle and the often-heroic ways those challenges were met. Discover and learn: how outmoded theories hobbled doctors in the field; the stories of the women who first entered a "man's army" as nurses; the details about the field hospitals, from the different kinds of bandages used to the diseases and wounds the doctors treated; and details of the day's surgical practices, medications, and anesthesia (or lack thereof). From the Critics >From Booknews Denney explores the history of medical treatment during the Civil War, using firsthand accounts from letters, journals, reports, and diaries from both sides of the conflict, arranged chronologically from January 1862 to October 1865. Includes b&w photos. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) >From Library Journal Denney, author of The Civil War Years: A Day-by-Day Chronicle of the Life of a Nation (Sterling, 1992), presents a similar overview of the war's medical history. A brief prolog and epilog complement a virtual day-by-day collection of short excerpts or paraphrases from original sources. Unfortunately, the chronological organization imposes a bland sameness on the narrative, and, with few editorial comments provided, the reader is left mystified by the overall significance of the sources selected. Although a three-page bibliography is appended, the author has omitted citations for the individual narratives. The heroic efforts of doctors and nurses to transform battlefield medicine and the misery and privations of soldiers on both sides of the conflict should be honored by a far better book. A more successful compilation of original sources is In Hospital and Camp: The Civil War Through the Eyes of Its Doctors and Nurses (LJ 2/15/93), edited by Harold E. Straubing, and two classics-Horace H. Cunningham's Doctors in Gray: The Confederate Medical Service (1958) and George W. Adams's Doctors in Blue (1952)-remain professional and readable histories.-Kathy Arsenault, Univ. of South Florida Lib., St. Petersburg

Rhonda Houston http://www.armymedicine.army.mil/history/booksdocs/civil/gillett2/amedd_1818 -1865_chpt2.htm The National Archives in Washington, D.C., and the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland, hold a majority of the manuscripts and other unpublished material used in the research for The Army Medical Department, 1818-1865. As always in this series on the history of the Army Medical Department, the Records of the Office of the Surgeon General, Record Group (RG 112), and particularly the letters to and from the Surgeon General, have been invaluable. Other important material in the National Archives is contained in the Records of the Adjutant General (RG 94), the Records of the Inspector General (RG 159), the Records of the Judge Advocate General (RG 153), and the Records of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands (RG 105). The National Library of Medicine collections include a wealth of correspondence, diaries, reports, orders, and similar material, both printed and unprinted, originating with the Surgeon General's Office, individual surgeons, individual hospitals, and the U.S. Sanitary Commission. Other repositories consulted for this volume include the New York Academy of Medicine, which holds the Nathan Jarvis papers, the Library of Congress, where there is a small collection of the papers of such surgeons as Benjamin King and Thomas Lawson, and the U.S. National Museum, better known as the Smithsonian Institution, which holds the papers that resulted from the work of various surgeons who gathered data and specimens for the Smithsonian. 8.

It seems to me like there was someone that posted a address for a website that had information on civil war Surgeons not that long ago. Could the person that has that information please repost the address. I'm looking for information on a confederate major John R. Hicks Thank youGet more from the Web.

It lists Union soldiers buried in national cemeteries during or shortly after the Civil War (it was put together by the Army's Quartermaster's Corps). The National Archives has a microfilm set called CARD INDEX TO HEADSTONES FURNISHED TO UNION VETERANS, 1879-1903. It lists headstones furnished to former Union soldiers during the time period specified. Tom Pearson

Rhonda and list, Sorry, I didn't know that all that information was needed. I thought the name of the paper and date was sufficient. The title of the article was "Clinton's Dead Heroes." After checking some of my other copies that showed the masthead, I found out that the volume number for that year was XLIII and the number of that issue was 21. I have never seen a page number on any of my copies, so I don't know if there was one (it was a small paper). The name of the paper has changed so many times over the years that I just refer to it as the Clinton Public. When referring to itself (in articles) it is always called The Public, but I guess I'd better be more specific about the title, too. It's official title for that article was "The Weekly Public, Clinton, Illinois." In the future, I'll be more careful about writing down ALL the information. Judy

Looking for Monroe J. Glick from IL.
