- Notes: Both volumes are inscribed: "Dr. James A. Stewart with the regards of Alf. A. Woodhull." "The AMM (Army Medical Museum), perhaps the greatest medical legacy of the Civil War, developed into the now world-famous AFIP (Armed Forces Institute of Pathology) which has been directly and indirectly responsible over the last 120 years for many advances in medicine... The AMM was also responsible for the development of clinical, pathologic, and photomicrography during the Civil War... The first publication that actually gives an idea as to the number and type of photographs taken by or for army physicians is The Catalogue of the Surgical Section... published in 1866"--Burns, Early Medical Photography in America, pages 1452-53 and 1454-55.
