Here is a trivia question to stump enthusiasts and experts alike. Who was responsible for over 20,000 soldiers (from both armies) at Gettysburg? Hint: He cannot be found on the order of battle. Answer: Henry Janes. Janes was born in Waterbury, Vermont on 24 January 1832 and obtained his medical degree from the College of Physicians and Surgeons (affiliated with Columbia) in New York (their alumni catalog spelled his surname incorrectly as James). Janes was appointed surgeon of the 3rd Vermont Infantry and by spring 1863 was in charge of the Union Sixth Corps hospitals. He was placed in charge of all the hospitals in and around Gettysburg (including Camp Letterman General Hospital), which at one point totaled over 20,000 wounded soldiers, attended by more than 250 surgeons. However, Janes was much more than just an administrator after that battle. He personally attended to many Federal and Confederate wounded, such as: MGen. Isaac Trimble; Sgt J. H. White (53 NC); Pvt E. H. McIntosh (1 Mass), Pvt I. L--- (17 U.S.); Cpl L. Burnett (11 Miss); Pvt G. D. Baxter (140 NY); Pvt. J. H. Kavanaugh (71 PA); Pvt C. Pease (4 Mich); Pvt S. Waisner (28 NC); Pvt John F. Williams (26 PA); Pvt J. W. Moore (13 Miss); and Pvt Dawson W. Arnold (5 FL). Janes remained at Gettysburg through the fall and in the winter took charge of South Street hospital in Philadelphia. He closed at the war at Sloan hospital in Montpelier, Vermont, and had a distinguished post-war career. Yet virtually no one knows his name or his deeds.
