Artifacts of the war

Do you want to see bones of soldiers who died in the Civil War? Or medical instruments used to amputate gangrenous limbs? Or the logs of surgeons and doctors that show the seasonal incidences of the diseases that killed over 400,000 men during the war, twice as many as the 200,000 who died on the battlefield?

No?

How about THE bullet that killed Abraham Lincoln?




Or the cuffs of the surgeon who held him while he died?

It's all at the National Museum of Medicine in Silver Spring Maryland. On display now.
