(That is not a relative of Lucy, and someone more knowledgeable than me would have the appropriate accent mark over the final 'e'.)

A few days ago, in another forum, I made a joking reference to physicians so old "they ran a field hospital at Antietam." Today, I came across the following article - complete with x-ray - of an individual who accidentally shot himself in the arm with a civil war replica musket (e.g., with a "minie ball.")

I thought this might be of interest to some here: https://taskandpurpose.com/civil-war-reenactor-minie-ball/
