 ucated\, interpret medicines and medical practices\, and describe transp

 ilies can meet with Mr. Gent in the Museum garden throughout the afterno
 on to learn more about this aspect of the Civil War and view a display o
 f medical tools and recreations of medicines in period containers. Jerse
 y City resident Bill Gent has been a historical lecturer since 1997 and 
 his special passion is the subject of medical practice of the Civil War 
 era.&nbsp\; While a student at &nbsp\;the University of Medicine and Den
 tistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ)) he became enthralled by the university&rsq
 uo\;s extensive collection of medical instruments and books. To expand u
 pon his new-found knowledge he visited historic battlefields and joined 
 a reenactment unit. He eventually chose General Beauguard&rsquo\;s perso
 nal surgeon\, Major Robert Little Brodie MD.CMD.\, as his impression. Ge
 nt used his medical background\, artistic talents and his research mater
 ial to faithfully recreate medical practices during the war and dispel p
 opular myths about Civil War medicine.&nbsp\; During the afternoon child
 ren can also participate in decorating a wooden drum using patterns and 
 images from the drums on display in the exhibit for inspiration or creat
 e their own unique design.&nbsp\; Families can also take part in a scave
 nger hunt through the exhibit\, where they can find both one-of-a-kind C
 ivil War artifacts and everyday items from the Civil War soldier&rsquo\;
 s life while &ldquo\;on the hunt&rdquo\;.&nbsp\; Activities also introdu
 ce children to the secret codes used by the Union and Confederacy during
  the Civil War. Free admission for Dads.&nbsp\; &nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nb
