Dr. Ezra Read, Surgeon and Abner Read's Brother

I have been writing about him in my Saw the Elephant: Civil War blog the last several days.

He was a very successful physician at Terre Haute, Indiana, before and after the war.  He took part in the Texas Revolution during the 1830s and treated captured Mexican leader and general Santa Anna.

During the Civil War he was the surgeon of the 21st Indiana Infantry and then the 11th Indiana Cavalry.
