Wounded Men at Savage’s Station Misery did not end when the cannons ceased firing. Northern and southern surgeons performed approximately 60,000 amputations with simple instruments such as those included in this surgical kit. The wounded men shown here were but a faction of those injured or killed during General George McClellan’s peninsula campaign in 1862.
