Deliverance from the Little Big Horn: Doctor Henry Porter and Custer's Seventh Cavalry
Autor Joan Nabseth Stevensonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 noi 2013
As Stevenson recounts in gripping detail, Porter s life-saving work on the battlefield began immediately, as he assumed the care of nearly sixty soldiers and two Indian scouts, attending to wounds and performing surgeries and amputations. He evacuated the critically wounded soldiers on mules and hand litters, embarking on a hazardous trek of fifteen miles that required two river crossings, the scaling of a steep cliff, and a treacherous descent into the safety of the steamboat "Far West," waiting at the mouth of the Little Big Horn River. There began a harrowing 700-mile journey along the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers to the post hospital at Fort Abraham Lincoln near Bismarck, Dakota Territory.
With its new insights into the role and function of the army medical corps and the evolution of battlefield medicine, this unusual book will take its place both as a contribution to the history of the Great Sioux War and alongside such vivid historical novels as "Son of the Morning Star "and" Little Big Man." It will also ensure that the selfless deeds of a lone contract surgeon unrecognized to this day by the U.S. government will never be forgotten."
