Greet Greg the Gardener

Meet Greg Susla, the man behind the medicinal herb garden at the Pry House on Tuesdays from 10-2. Greg Susla and the garden at the Pry House On Tuesdays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM from April 2 through October 29 at the Pry House Field Hospital Museum, visitors will have the chance to “Greet Greg the Gardener.” For eight years Museum volunteer and retired critical care pharmacist Greg Susla has worked to plant, care for, and expand a 19th century medicinal herb garden on the grounds of the Pry House Field Hospital Museum on Antietam National Battlefield. Boasting over 35 different herbal varieties, the garden is representative of plants that would have been grown during the period in the Mid-Atlantic region. You can meet Dr. Susla and watch him maintain the garden, hear about future plans, and learn more about Civil War medical care. In addition to the medicinal herb garden, visitors can tour the grounds of the Pry House which include a barn which was used as a field hospital after the Battle of Antietam – treating about 500 patients. The Pry House Field Hospital Museum is located at 18906 Shepherdstown Pike, Keedysville, MD 21756 Greg Susla has been a volunteer at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine since January 2011.

Greg received his pharmacy degrees from the Universities of Connecticut and Florida and completed a critical care pharmacy residency at the Ohio State University Hospitals. Greg spent the majority of his career as the ICU pharmacist at National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD and volunteered his time in the ICU at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. Greg has been active in the Society of Critical Care Medicine for over 25 years serving on a number of the Society’s committees and is a Fellow in the American College of Critical Care Medicine. Greg retired as the Associate Director of Medical Information at MedImmune in Gaithersburg, MD. Greg and his wife Lisa live in Frederick, MD.

The Grand Review: Explorations of Civil War Photos

Take a fascinating look at some of the Civil War’s most intriguing and recently discovered images. Bob Zeller and his book on 3-D Civil War photos Join us at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine on Saturday, June 1 at 2:00 PM as Bob Zeller, co-founder and president of The Center for Civil War Photography and author of several books on the subject, will take a close look at some of the Civil War’s classic photographic images and some recent treasures that have come to light, including history’s first wartime action photos. Attendees will have the opportunity to view many of the photographs in rich 3-D format. The visual treasures taken by the war’s photographers are still revealing themselves with discoveries of previously unknown images as well as exciting, new ways to look at known images, including photos showing movement. Believe it or not, Civil War motion pictures exist – created from four images taken in quick succession that capture wagons, ships and other scenes in motion. Zeller will present some of these recent discoveries, including a newly found image taken at Camp Letterman in Gettysburg. A Frederick section will include the famous shot of Confederates in Frederick as well as the earliest known images of the city as captured on daguerreotype plates. In addition, wearing 3-D glasses, viewers will feel as if they can literally step into the tableaus of some of the war’s most famous photographs, many reproduced directly from original glass-plate negatives, providing unmatched clarity. The presentation is included with admission to the National Museum of Civil War Medicine and FREE for NMCWM members. Bob Zeller is a writer and historian as well as the co-founder and president of The Center for Civil War Photography. Zeller pioneered the reintroduction of the war’s 3-D photographs into Civil War studies with his groundbreaking stereoscopic photo history of the war: The Civil War in Depth – History in 3-D in 1997. It was the first book to present Civil War stereo photos the way they were taken and meant to be seen. He has since published multiple books on Civil War photography and history and has lectured on Civil War photography for over 30 years. He has presented 3-D shows at the Library of Congress, the National Archives, the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Associates, Museum of the Confederacy, Chrysler Museum, the Newseum, the Norman Rockwell Museum, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Maryland Historical Society and more than 150 other venues. Zeller, 71, is a native of Washington, D.C., and a graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism. He is married to former newspaper photographer and city manager Ann G. Bailie. They have two grown children and live beside Lake Norman, N.C.
