James B. McCaw developed the Chimborazo Military Hospital in Richmond, Virginia, for the Confederate States of America.  It was at the time the largest in human history.  It received 17,000 wounded patients and served more than 76,000 patients.  The museum today features instruments and other items used by doctors at the hospital.
