Powell’s Arm Pin

Spring 1861, the Civil War broke out and young John Wesley Powell enlisted in the Union Army. One morning, while raising his arm to signal to his men to fire, a musket ball ripped through his right forearm. Two days later, the arm was then amputated from the elbow down. Powell would complain of nerve pain for the rest of his life.
