Dr. Michael collects and buys Civil War medical textbooks published from 1850 to 1865.  This collection is about the time frame when most of the surgeons who were active during the War would have been educated or were being supplied by the Surgeon General's Office with current texts for their continuing education.  The more famous of the authors were actively in practice at leading medical schools or in the military service prior to the Civil War.  Medical books noted in the Surgeon General's Office Library Catalogues prior to and during the Civil War are the basis of and wanted for this collection.  Please contact Dr. Echols for discussion or evaluation of your medical books published 1850 to 1865.

Wanted: Any medical textbook which is by or marked as being published for the:  

 U. S. Army Medical or Hospital Department

 (See the examples of how these books would be marked at bottom of this page)

Books wanted for the collection to illustrate the information available to Civil War surgeons.   Other medical books published 1850 to 1865 are of interest, please contact Dr. Echols to discuss any medical books you wish to sell.
