A c. 1860 tintype of William Johnson Turner,  Smyth County, Virginia.  Turner was involved with medicine in the war, working as a Confederate hospital steward in Richmond and Chattanooga, and he served  as a druggist at Petersburg for a period in 1864.  He took medical classes at the Medical College of Virginia that same year.  Turner originally enlisted in the famous "Bloody Half Hundred" - the 50th Virginia Infantry - when it was assembled at Wytheville as part of Gen. Floyd's Brigade.  Several companies then became part of the 8th Virginia Cavalry, CSA, which has been called one of the "fightingest" units of the entire Confederate army.

A robust c. 1850 antique neurosurgical trephine with ebony handle.  The straight-side crown was thought in the US to be rather archaic by 1860 when the conical Galt crown became the standard.  The cut of the Galt crown made it easier to remove the bone disk.  The sliding centering pin is in proper working order.
