Original research into medico-legal problems was one of the Department's fundamental activities from the outset, and over one hundred articles were published by members of the staff from 1940 to 1954.

"Artificial limbs removed"
January, John Wales
John Wales January enlisted in Company B of the 14th Illinois Cavalry and was captured in July, 1864. The reverse of the original print of this photograph gives January's account of his sufferings as a prisoner of war and the amputation of his own feet :
I was captured by six rebel soldiers, sent to Andersonville, and there kept until the fall of Atlanta made it necessary for us to be removed to prevent falling in the hands of the Union forces. I was taken to Charleston, S.C., with others, and placed by the enemy under fire of our soldiers and gun-boats; remained here ten days and was taken to Florence, S.C., where we passed the winter of '64-5, and on or about February 15th I was stricken down by an attack of swamp-fever, and for three weeks I remained in a delirious condition; the fever abated and reason returned. I soon learned from the surgeon, after a hasty examination, that I was victim of scurvy and gangrene and was removed to the gangrene hospital. My feet and ankles, five inches above the joints presented a livid, lifeless appearance, and soon the flesh began to slough off, and the surgeon, with a brutal oath, said I would soon die. But I was determined to live, and begged him to cut my feet off; telling him if he would do that I could live. He still refused; and, believing that my life depended on the removal of my feet, I secured an old pocket-knife (I have it now in my possession) and cut through the decaying flesh and severed the tendons. The feet were unjointed, leaving the bones protruding without a covering of flesh for five inches. At the close of the war I was taken by the rebs to our lines at Wilmington, N.C., in April 1865, and when weighed learned that I had been reduced from 165 pounds (my weight when captured) to forty-five pounds. Every one of the Union surgeons who saw me then said I could not live; but, contrary to this belief, I did, and improved. Six weeks after release, while on a boat enroute to New York, the bones of my right limb broke off at the end of the flesh. Six weeks later, while in the hospital on David's Island, those of my left hand had become necrosid and broke off similarly. One year after my release I was just able to sit up in bed, and was discharged. Twelve years after my release my limbs healed over, and strange to relate, no amputation has ever been performed upon them save the one I performed in prison. There is no record of any case in the world similar to mine. My own theory of the cause, is this: while delirious I was so weak that the pulsations of my heart were too feeble to throw the blood to the extremities, and below the point of circulation death took place.

His medical studies interrupted due to lack of funds, Philon Currier Whidden (1839-1900) enlisted as a private with the 4th Battalion of Rifles of the 12th Massachusetts Volunteers in June, 1861. He was severely wounded in the left leg at Antietam in September, 1862. From his own account, Whidden states, "My slight medical knowledge enabled me to make such a representation of my physical condition, strength of constitution, etc., as to secure a more than ordinarily careful consideration of my case by the surgeons and saved me from the speedy amputation which the nature and severity of the wound seemed to demand." Whidden was subsequently appointed acting assistant surgeon in the U.S. Navy and served to the end of the war. He then resumed his studies at Harvard, received a medical degree in 1866, and went into practice in Chicago.

Harvard Medical School. Department of Legal Medicine.
Medical jurisprudence.
Moritz, Alan Richards, 1899-
Lee, Frances Glessner, 1878-1962.
Ford, Richard.
Published in the period following the resignation of Alan R. Moritz's and the appointment of Richard Ford, this article from The Saturday Evening Post criticizes the coroner system and promotes the importance of the medical-legal research work at Harvard and the police seminars of Mrs. Lee:
Because the coroner of one county had taken a Harvard six-day course on the handling of disasters involving dead bodies in great numbers, he was able to cope with a major disaster that happened in his county ten days later. A little more than a week after his return home, an explosion of gas burned out many blocks in his city. Scores of people were killed. But even in the short space of time since his return, he had put into effect some of the ideas that had been recommended to him at Harvard. Places for the laying out of large numbers of bodies had been decided upon. Tags giving all available information about such bodies when there were picked up were ready to attach to them. Arrangements had been made for trucks to supplement the regular ambulances.

Amputation
Poster for "Painless" an exhibit of objects and images from the history of anesthesiology curated by Brigham and Women's Hospital Archivist, Catherine Pate, originally produced for the Brigham Education Institute in 2018–2019.
The background image of this exhibit poster is a reproduction of "Amputation," 1785, a satirical etching/aquatint by Thomas Rowlandson (1756–1827). The original print of "Amputation" is Image Number 467 in the Harvard Medical Library collection, Center for the History of Medicine in the Francis A. Countway Library, Harvard University
Rowlandson contrasts the horror on the face of a patient experiencing an amputation in the pre-anesthesia era with the clinical indifference of the observing surgeons. The skeleton in the background shows the only sympathy. The artist mocks 18th century surgeons’ skills with the satirical names posted on the wall.

From a collection of cards and objects sent to the Brigham and Women's Hospital by well-wishers after the terrorist bombing of the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013. The collection represents a fraction of the items of support, sympathy, and encouragement sent from all over the country for the survivors of the attack, and the medical people who took care of them. Many of the cards and objects were handmade by children.

This report to the Senate outlines the treatment of Union prisoners of war by the Confederate forces at Belle Isle.
"Your committee, therefore, are constrained to say that they can hardly avoid the conclusion, expressed by so many of our released soldiers, that the inhuman practices herein referred to are the result of a determination on the part of the rebel authorities to reduce our soldiers in their power, by privation of food and clothing, and by exposure, to such a condition that those who may survive shall never recover so as to be able to render any effective service in the field."
