Daughters of NC,

Do you know what today is?  Of course, you do: it's the 106th anniversary of our society!Thank you for being a member and doing your part to keep the message alive regarding the War of 1812.

With Liberty, Fraternity & Unity, Elaine 

Kathy Miller, Vice-President introduced guest speaker, Chris Grimes, President of the Sons of the American Revolution, Albemarle Chapter in Roper, NC.

The number one killer during the War of 1812 was infections. There were many infections such as, typhoid, dysentery, pneumonia, measles and smallpox, as well as malaria. It was difficult to keep food fresh and often the men would “flux” a term used in reference to diarrhea. This would make the soldier’s life miserable.  If you amputate below the elbow you have an 85% chance of living. Otherwise, infection would set in and death would occur. The amputations were without anesthesia. The surgeon had to act quickly.  The typical soldier in the War of 1812 didn’t die from cannonballs or bullets, but from germs. Chris Grimes, our guest speaker brought a variety of tools and medicinals to treat a variety of health issues that needed treatment. The most common procedure is lancing boils and abscesses to amputation of limbs.  Chris explained how Leeches have been used in medicine for over 2,500 years. They were more popular in earlier times because it was widely thought that most diseases were caused by an excess of blood. As recently as the 19th century, leeches were used to treat everything from tonsillitis to hemorrhoids. Chris also used a wonderful PowerPoint presentation to better I illustrate the types of problems that the soldiers were presented with during this time period and how they dealt with it.
