  Confederate Field Hospital
The Carolina Legion Brigade Field Hospital is an authentic recreation of the medical facilities made available by the CSA Medical Department to the infantry regiments in the Confederate Army.
Due to the logistic problems associated with moving such a large endeavor by wagon, the field hospital often was not immediately available during and after a battle and surgeons had to rely on what they and their stewards carried on their backs.
Field hospitals performed a myriad of surgical procedures under general anesthesia including bullet extractions, amputations of arms and legs, reducing skull fractures (including rudimentary brain surgery), setting and splinting of broken bones, maxilofacial surgery, plastic surgery, an occasional urological procedure, an occasional abdominal debridement and a very rare thoracic debridement.
