Dr. Michael Monaco is scheduled to present “Civil War Medicine – Compassion During Conflict” at the Arrow Rock State Historic Site at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 1.
A news release says Monaco is scheduled to discuss the medical practices of the Civil War era and how those practices evolved into modern medicine.
Monaco was raised in Jefferson City in an antebellum home built in 1848. It served as a barracks for Union troops stationed in town during the Civil War. On more than a few occasions, Monaco’s family and neighbors discovered Civil War-era artifacts on their properties.
