FIRST C-SECTION PERFORMED IN THE U.S.

Today in History Physician Jesse Bennet performed the first cesarean  section in America in 1794, in Rockingham County, VA. Poor Elizabeth Bennet!  Though the c-section her husband performed on her was
Jesse Bennett (July 10, 1769 – July 13, 1842).

A physician named Dr. Jesse Bennett is recorded as the first
doctor to successfully perform a C-section in the US after it
was requested during a difficult labor. The patient? His wife.

Bennett became active in civic affairs in the newly formed
Mason County (now Mason County, West Virginia). He was
appointed Major of the Mason County Militia in 1804 and
represented Mason County in the Virginia Assembly.

Elderly Wyatt Earp" Photographic Print for Sale by PatSeg | Redbubble


Nearly 50 years after the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral,
Wyatt Earp died quietly in Los Angeles at the age of 80.

The Earp brothers had long been competing with the Clanton-
McClaury ranching families for political and economic control
of Tombstone,
Arizona, and the surrounding region.

On October 26, 1881, the simmering tensions finally boiled
over into violence, and Wyatt, his brothers Virgil and Morgan,
and his close friend, Doc Holliday, killed three men from the
Clanton and McLaury clans in a 30-second shoot-out on a
Tombstone street near the O.K. Corral (below).
