They are continually expanding access to technology and resources and embracing inclusion in their programming, resources and collections to meet the needs of all Kentuckians," said Gov.

Letter: Photo-What is it?

Mike Bell writes:
I too did a search and found that in fact the North had no dentists at all in their ranks. However the South did and would even hire dentists from private practice. In the Union the doctor would pull the tooth as painfully as possible with the tools in his medical kit, which this does indeed seem to be.

The mystery tool kit on CM looks a lot like some tools my grandfather used. He was a Commercial fisherman on the Great Lakes in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and used to "string" (make and repair) his own nets.
