Pond's Bitters (P 120) - Meyer Collection
Jim Schmidt has recently joined the FOHBC and while sending his membership on, I noticed he was from the Houston area! He is a Civil War authority and really into Civil War Medicine. Bingo! Boy has he found the right group to get to know and the opposite is true too! Can’t wait to meet him at the Houston Show on 23 July 2011. Anyway I posted a few of our pics and info we have been firing back and forth on the FOHBC Facebook page. Check his Civil War Medicine (and Writing) blog out…
