Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Less than 1 percent of all Civil War casualties were killed or injuried by swords, knives, bayonets, broken whiskey bottles etc etc. Most were killed by bullets.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I'd like to keep researching and learning about Civil War Medical issues

What do you like about this subject? That, no matter how much I think I know, there is still more out there to be discovered. And..I get to live in an area that was called "The Playground of the Civil War"

Something controversial or provocative about this subject African Americans fought on BOTH sides during the war. Both were fighting for "their" country, so to speak.
