Misson Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 Question 1: Who was the guy who was who was displaying all the onion bottles, jack knifes and so forth in the fort? I had his catalog, but promptly lost it. Question 2: Someone was telling me about the hand-sewn period appropriate notebooks... If that was you, can you tell me where you get them?

Capt. Sterling Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 Since you've got yer only little thread here... I'll post these for you here.... This is thanks to our east coast surgeon... Jeff Miller of the Lockhouse. "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/
Duchess Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 Dare I ask (apparently I do) What the heck are the giant plunger/syringe things for?

Misson Posted December 7, 2007 Author Posted December 7, 2007 And the little ones are for mercury up the gentleman's...it was a barbaric age for surgery. Nice set-up. Mary Diamond also sent me several pictures of his kit. He has a lot of real stuff, where all mine's repro. He must have been assembling that for some time. (I'd love to get one of the smaller syringes, just so I can explain what it's for and watch all the guys wince.) I'm not a surgeon-barber, I just play one at PiP... I am, however, assembling info to do that post on medicine in the era which will explain some of this stuff. I have two books on order and several sites bookmarked for my thread. I'll be putting it in Twill.

Misson Posted December 9, 2007 Author Posted December 9, 2007 Mission- Greg lives about 15 minutes from us in Kentucky, right across the river. Also, 'twas I that told you about the period notebooks. I will pull the site from my home pc when I get off work and PM it to you. Thank you Fayma! Let me know where I can get the notebook... In fact, since you have my little blue notebook, could I just send you the period notebook and have write the info in the period notebook? Using calligraphy? Seriously, I am gathering data for a more complete understanding of surgery in the era. As soon as I get the book that Captain Jim recommended to me on RevWar medicine, I'm going to start organizing that, some on-line info I have and Rough Medicine into a more cohesive document on the topic. I plan to post that in Twill with my references (for comments and suggestions), then put it on my web page as a reference for other budding 18th century surgeons. It would be nice if Greg could look it over, as I'll bet he has a lot of knowledge on the topic... Once it's all final, I'm going to transfer bits into the notebook for a sort of field reference. I wish I could get a copy of Woodall's Surgeon's Mate for a reasonable price. That is probably the consummate resource for sailing surgeons. Alas, it has never been reprinted.
