DESCRIPTION:The Antiques Club of the Finger Lakes will meet Thursday\, May 26 at 7:00 p.m. with a program called Civil War Medicine - The Real Story\, presented by Les Buell. The meeting will take place at the Geneva Historical Society\, 543 S. Main Street\, Geneva.  \n\n\n\nLosses in the Civil War due to disease and lack of proper medical care cost the lives of far more soldiers than deaths from gunfire and bayonets on the battlefield. ?Major?

He is an active member of the Society of Civil War Surgeons\, which includes participation in seminars and workshops relating to medicine as practiced in the Civil War.
