It is a fictionalized biography of one of Canada's first woman specialist. She become a doctor around 1900.

Using "The Letters of Robert E. Lee" and my interest in the Civil War I traced R. Lee from being knocked off his horse at Second Bull Run to his August 1863 letter of resignation to Jefferson Davis. I think from a medical standpoint, his days were numbered and if his number was to be up, he needed to be attacking a fortified position. Lee didn't have just one heart attack during the war, a case could be made that he had three or four. All the history profs poo poo my theory back in 1990.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439587530787929381.post-89065357610793716162009-04-29T23:03:00.000-07:002009-04-29T23:03:00.000-07:00yeah good point on your blog post, it is easy to u...yeah good point on your blog post, it is easy to understand, thanks for sharing, keep it up…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439587530787929381.post-47697507313757219352008-07-01T08:24:00.000-07:002008-07-01T08:24:00.000-07:00Thanks for posting about a local (Fredericksburg) ...Thanks for posting about a local (Fredericksburg) boy Jim.
