Reconstructing Dr. Gibbes' Study: A Biography of Loss is a collection of essays illuminating the many facets of this 19th century Confederate Surgeon's professional and social life in South Carolina's capital city, in the shadows of South Carolina College (now the University of South Carolina.) The book opens with a letter Dr. Gibbes wrote one of his sons as the smoke cleared following the Burning of Columbia 150 years ago. It ends with a tribute written about him and published at the time of his death, only months following his city's burning. Essays were written to stand alone or be read together for a comprehensive view of this notable man.
