{"title":"The eye disease of Jefferson Davis (1808-1889).","authors":"Richard W Hertle, Robert Spellman","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The only Confederate president, Jefferson Davis, led a long and eventful life. He was a Mississippi planter, a husband, a father, West Point graduate, war hero, congressman, senator, secretary of war, and finally President of the Confederate States of America. In many ways he was a study of contrast with his northern counterpart Abraham Lincoln. Davis was personally courageous and a rich, educated, southern aristocrat who did not deeply understand the political process or have the refined personal skills necessary to work well with others. Prior to his Presidency he served with distinction in two wars, but as a result of his confederate activity and pro-slavery philosophy he is one of the least discussed famous Americans. Davis's health was a constant problem and he suffered an almost fatal attack of 'malaria' in 1836. In the winter of 1857-1858, he again was seriously ill and by the end of February 1858, a chronic, relapsing, ocular inflammatory condition began. Using historical evidence from multiple sources, this paper will propose a diagnosis of the Confederate President's ocular condition and consider how this could have influenced his military and political decisions.</p>","PeriodicalId":89497,"journal":{"name":"The journal of Civil War medicine : official quarterly publication of the Society of Civil War Surgeons, Inc","volume":"11 2","pages":"45-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"29976510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"General Halleck's itchy elbows.","authors":"Thomas G Cropley","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>General Henry Wager Halleck served as general-in-chief and chief of staff of the Federal army from 1862-1865. Unpopular with troops as well as with many members of the Lincoln administration, he was a particular source of irritation to Secretary of Navy Gideon Welles. In his posthumously-published diary of the war years, Welles viciously criticized Halleck for his failings as army commander. Welles also derided Halleck's personality and personal appearance. Welles found the general's habitual elbow-scratching annoying enough to mention it in five separate diary entries. This depiction of Halleck ceaselessly, nervously scratching his elbows has entered Civil War folklore. Why did Halleck scratch his elbows? Two possibilities exist. Either he did so compulsively, as a nervous habit, or he was scratching an itch. In this paper, I present a speculative argument that Halleck may have had a skin disease, possibly atopic dermatitis, and that this may have contributed to or have been the sole cause of his elbow scratching.</p>","PeriodicalId":89497,"journal":{"name":"The journal of Civil War medicine : official quarterly publication of the Society of Civil War Surgeons, Inc","volume":"11 1","pages":"2-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"29976508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
