SOne of a revolutionary member of the Portuguese nobility, Aristides was born in Virginia in 1829 and made his decision to become a doctor after his mother died, because midicine was unable to save her life. The details of his career as a medical student make fascinating reading - the way medicine was taught, the courses of study, the grave-robbing that was almost a necessity in order for students to learn about the human body. ARistides' romance with Mary Cocke, whom he married, began when he was a student at the University of Virginia. Theirs was a long and happy life together. His warmth and good humor and self-sacrificing qualities endeared him to all his patients, in both private and military life. Aristides served the Confederacy under Lee from Antietam until after Gettysburg. But in his memoirs, he stressed his exciting lifeas a guerrilla doctor with Colonel John Mosby's battalion during the last years of the war. This interesting biography is based on exacting and primary research, index and bibliography are included." 0608N0100B18 Biography History Military 010809
