Watson, Alan D.

Abstract:

The author disputes Martin Rozear's claim that the first established hospital was in Portsmouth 1846-1847, an article that appeared in the previous issue of this journal. Watson pulls from fragmentary evidence to argue the first designed hospital was privately funded and built in Wilmington during the mid-1830s. This facility closed sometime in the late 1830s.
