It’s the late 1770s, and you’ve been in the Continental Army for two years. You’ve only faced the British on a few occasions – and it didn’t go well. But you walked away unscathed…for now. It’s brutally cold and you’ve got 20 miles more to march through the snow before reaching camp; your feet are wrapped only in thin linen, and they’re starting to turn blue, in some spots ashen gray. What could THAT mean? It can’t be good…
What was it like to face such conditions? What was it like for the medical professionals who cared for soldiers facing those terrible conditions?
Join us at the Lincoln Depot Museum as we welcome Matthew Weigman from the nearby Washington’s Headquarters State Historic Site in Newburgh, NY, as he presents a candid look at Revolutionary War medicine.
