If you want to hear about the struggle to save lives during wartime
in the 1860s, come out to the Walker House Speaker Series Wednesday,
Sept. 23, at 7 p.m.
Les Buell, Civil War educator and re-enactor, will be discussing
that very topic. His talk will cover three Canadian surgeons who
participated in the American Civil War, one of which was
Kincardine's own Dr. Secord. The other two include the first black
Canadian to graduate from medical school in Canada, and a doctor who
ran the blockade of southern ports and served as a surgeon in the
Confederate Army.
During his presentation, Buell will do a brief overview of medical
knowledge from the Civil War time period, including exhibit items.
Admission is $10 and refreshments will be available.
