Author Description

Excerpt from Monroe and Gardiner's Imperishable Raw Hide Artificial Limbs: Patented March 15 and October 11, 1864, and July 25, 1865 Dear Sir - Personal experience enables me to say that your new raw-hide leg is far superior to any I have seen. It is so much lighter, stronger, and promises to be much more durable than the heavy wooden leg I have been wearing, manu factured by one of the best leg makers in New York.
