Dr. Hunter Holmes McGuire, of Wi******er, Virginia, is most famous in the Civil War for amputating the arm of Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. However, McGuire had another major influence on the war. McGuire helped establish a precedent in the Civil War in which medical personnel would not be held prisoner when captured, but instead returned to their army to continue their life-saving work. Hunter McGuire himself would be captured by Sheridan's forces at the battle of Waynesboro. Sheridan, respecting the policy that McGuire had established, would immediately parole Hunter McGuire.
