Abstract
Brigadier General Bernard J. D. Irwin (1829–1917), earned the epitaph the “Fighting Doctor” for his exploits during the Civil War and against Indians out west. But he was a far more complex figure than such a simple sobriquet implies. On September 18, 1891 at the first meeting of what was to become the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States, Col. Irwin, who was Medical Director of the Department of the Missouri, was asked to deliver a few remarks. Irwin had been a medical officer for almost 40 years and was nearing the end of his career.
