All the Guts, None of the Glory: The Story of Alexis St. Martin

In the summer of 1822, a twenty year old French Canadian man named Alexis St. Martin was working in the fur trade for the American Fur Company. As a voyageur, part of St. Martin's job was to take part in the transport of furs and on June 6th 1822 he found himself at a trading post located on Mackinac Island. During his time at the post tragedy struck when another voyageur accidentally fired his musket sending a shot into the side of St. Martin and literally tearing a hole into him. Doctor William Beaumont, a US Army surgeon stationed at a nearby army post, was summoned to help St. Martin but the prognosis was grim. Even though he was a healthy man, a wound of that size and nature was usually a death sentence. He may have wished that it was.

Got my covid booster Tuesday morning. Went to bed at 9pm with a fever, stayed there for 36 hours! I don’t know why my body is too wimpy to handle a fever but I am awfully glad to be up and around again. Benny & Frank quite enjoyed my extra heat and spent a large amount of time curled up on parts of me! #covidbooster #1daydownvs14 #beattheodds https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjp8ZvZubWO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
