Summary: This week at In The Past Lane, the American history podcast, we take on the Civil War. Not the whole thing but rather a specific aspect of this massive military conflict: medicine and death. First, we have a short thinkpiece on death and medicine and the Civil War. Next, I interview Lisa Wolfinger, co-creator and executive producer of "Mercy Street" on PBS. Finally, in Mercy Street Rewind, Senior Correspondent and historian Megan Kate Nelson assesses the first episode of PBS's "Mercy Street."
