William Wheeler wrote graphically of the suffering of one of his men: He was a “fine-looking young Irishman, with a … deep susceptibility to both pain and pleasure. One of his wounds had affected the nerves, and the pain came in great wrenches and spasms that made him gnash his teeth and beat his feet on the bed in agony. I became so sick that I could hardly get to the door.” This Web site displays photos of injuries that men received during the Civil War.These images come from a book published by the Medical Staff Press, which publishes books on Civil War medicine.
