SURGEON'S KIT FOR HOMER SHAW 10TH O.V.I. Surgeon's kit in mahogany box with gilt fittings, plate on top with "10th OVI / HCS." This kit was assembled by "Shepard & Dudley, New York" according to the tag. It contains a large bone saw along with smaller saws, large clippers, bone reamer with ebony handle, several knives, a needle, an hook retractor and a tourniquette with brass fittings. There is an empty compartment with a lid and one other empty slot. The kit is lined with white velveteen, compartments are lined with purple velveteen. The only surgeon we could locate in the 10th OVI was Homer Shaw, although his middle initial is listed as "S" instead of "C". Shaw was mustered into Field & Staff 11/25/61 as an assistant surgeon, and promoted to surgeon 6/9/63. The 10th OVI was organized at Camp Dennison near Cincinnati, 6/4/61, with Col. William Lytle in charge. The unit immediately saw action in West Virginia, and was subsequently assigned as a guard for Rosecrans at Army of the Cumberland headquarters. It saw action at Chickamauga with Rosecrans. When Genl. Thomas assumed command, it was retained as headquarters guard, seeing action in the Atlanta campaign before its 3-year term expired. Some bleed of purple, some staining of light velveteen. A few small cracks on lid where corner fittings are attached. Key missing for lock.
