Description

When historian Bill Gent participates in Civil War re-enactments, he usually plays the part of a physician.  At this Sunday Spotlight, Bill discusses the art of medicine as it was practiced during one of the bloodiest conflicts in our nation’s history.  This program takes place at the Clark House, which coincidentally was built by Dr. James Clark, whose father was a physician who examined soldiers as they returned home to New Jersey from the Civil War battlegrounds.  Suggested donation is $5.
