After Philippi, nineteen years old James Edward Hanger becomes the first amputee of the Civil War

After the battle at Philippi, James Edward Hanger, a 19 year-old Washington College sophomore and recruit in the Virginia infantry, became the war's first amputee when a Union surgeon removed his shattered right leg just below the hip. Returning home on a prisoner exchange, he developed an artificial limb - "the Hanger Leg."  He patented it in 1863 and developed the company that still operates as Hanger Prosthetics & Orthotics.  (By John Osborne)
