Before modern hospitals… before anesthesia as we know it… before antibiotics… there was grit, guesswork, and a steady hand.Join us for Untold Stories: Scalpels & Saloons as we explore the strange, brave, and sometimes unsettling world of frontier medicine. From Dr. LaRue’s first successful appendectomy in the region to the curious (and occasionally questionable) remedies of the Wild West, this evening dives into the blood, bravery, and bizarre realities of surviving illness on the frontier.
It wasn’t always pretty. But it was history in the making.
This story comes to life through Chloe Doucette and Jeff Carr of the Museum of Idaho, bringing history out of the archives and into the underground.
