MT - September 9, 1865 - Jerome S. Glick License *Territorial* :
License No. 1253 issued to the Montana Territory's most famous doctor and surgeon. Issued Sept. 9, 1865. Granted March 1, 1865-July 28, 1866. $20. Dr. Glick is noted as having saved the life of crooked Sheriff Henry Plummer. Plummer was shot with a rifle ball that entered through his elbow and shattered or broke a number of bones. After determining that the only option was amputation of the arm, Dr. Glick was threatened with death by Plummer's gang if Plummer were to die of his wounds. Dr. Glick saved Plummer's life thus he was able to also be noted as having surgically removed a seventy-foot tape worm from Virginia City patient (REF. Langford, 1996. Karoleuitz, 1967). Fine. 4" x 5".
