There also was a discussion on the uniform and equipment of a Civil War Union soldier, as well as a presentation by Ms. Joanne Shelby-Kline on the topic “The Pittsburgh Branch of the US Sanitary Commission 1861-1865.” Many artifacts were passed around during the program for the residents to see, such as encased medical instruments, laminated lists of the apothecary medicines during that time and printed proposals to read from that era.
