Dime novelist Frederick Whittaker first met George Armstrong Custer in the New York offices of Galaxy magazine, for whom the general was writing a series of articles (later collected as My Life on the Plains). Whittaker had served honorably and well in the Civil War himself; yet despite a serious chest wound received in the Wilderness, his zest for martial glory and his admiration for the glorious had not diminished. He immediately became “The Boy General's” ardent admirer and, after the battle of the Little Big Horn in 1876, was his fallen hero's most ardent apologist. Within two weeks of the first news of the battle, Whittaker had published eighty lines of creditable doggerel in the Army and Navy Journal—“Custer's Last Charge”; a eulogy in Galaxy appeared shortly afterward (in which he compared “The Yellow Hair,” favorably, to Don John of Austria, the Black Prince, Alexander the Great; Custer was as much the beau sabreur as Murat, as brilliant as Seidlitz; he charged like Murat and died like Leonidas); and then the Grand Finale, a six-hundred-plus page biography, The Life of General George A. Custer, written and put into print within six months of Custer's death. As a writer for Beadle and Adams, Whittaker had learned how to roll out his prose with steam press rapidity; but the tone, the fullness of the narrative, and the ardor which blushes every page show that these various works were de amore.

chest wall was destroyed in the penetrating chest wound is dificult problems for a variety of conditions and has been a complex problem in the past due to intraoperative technical difficulties, surgical complications, and respiratory failure. The surgical technique of chest wall stabilization for fail chest and reconstruction with a screws plate as a part of destroyed chest wall and reconstruction is described here in this article.Cas reporte A 54-year-old male was shot in the left thorax , fired from a AK bullet at close range (plus than 3 m). He arrived to our hopital approximately 8 hours after the injury. He had absent breath sounds on the left side, rapid respiratory rate 35 L/P,upper anterior fail chets(paradoxical motion of segments of the chest wall) and his vital signs were stable (pulse was 130, blood pressure was 140/90 mmHg. Physical examination revealed a single skin laceration (plus than 2. cm) with less surrounding contusion at the left anterier-axillary line; 3th intercostal space. The admission chest radiograph revealed a all left hemothorax(pleural effusion). chest X-ray demonstrated a foreign body at the right clavicle bone with the form of an bulett (Figure 1). A leftsided thoracostomy tube drained blood, the patient underwent a traumatic thoracotomie.the bullet and ribs,1/2 anterior upper sternum, muscles on the destroyed anterior upper chest wall were removed.wide anterior chest wall defects on only shaped by steel wires and screws plate and grand pectoralis muscles to the chest wall fix (stabilisation), avoid reversal respiratory and mediastinal infection..

Abstract Background: Although donkey contributed vital role in human livelihoods through direct and indirect contributions to financial, human and social capital, emphasis has not been given to study the welfare issue which include health problems and management requirement. A retrospective study and questionnaire survey was conducted to assess the health and the welfare problem of donkeys coming to the Haro Sabbu Veterinary clinic for treatment at the Dale Sadi district, Haro SabbuVeterinary clinic, Oromia, Ethiopia. Data on 448 donkeys from 2018 to 2020 were analyzed from the data record sheet kept by the clinic. Results: The most common case for wound occurrence were back sore 135(30.1%), chest wound 37(8.3%), bite 27(6.0%) and combined wound of both back and bite 14(3.1%). The finding indicated that the occurrence of wound in donkeys having poor 170 (64.4%), medium 41(33.6%) and good 7(11.6%) body condition and this was found to be statistically significantly associated (p=0.000). Among the common health problems and abnormalities encountered in donkeys back sore wound 135(30.1%), lameness 92(20.5%), parasitic infestation 60(13.6%), chest wound 37(8.3) and signs of colic 34 (7.6%) were the major problems encountered in donkeys coming to clinic for treatment with there was no a statistically significant difference among different years. In addition to body condition, the occurrence of wounds was found to be statistically significantly associated with age category and work type. In addition, pack donkeys experienced higher lameness occurrences as compared to cart donkeys and it was statistically significant (P>0.05). In addition to health related problems, the questionnaire survey conducted also revealed welfare problems such as management condition, overloading, working hour, housing problems, and wounds due to harnessing were the major welfare problems of donkeys in the study area.Conclusion: This retrospective study and questionnaire survey revealed the significant health and welfare problems of donkeys that need to be addressed in order to improve welfare status, their health and working efficiency. Therefore, there should be immediate awareness creation for community, government, community, local service providers and policy makers on welfare issue of donkey and health management in the study area in particular and in the country in general.
