Gov. Allen's Wooden Leg

This is wooden leg Gov. Henry Watkins Allen used following his life-threatening injuries during the Battle of Baton Rouge.

Excerpt from "Recollections of Henry Watkins Allen, brigadier-general Confederate States army, ex-governor of Louisiana":

"Allen had been borne off the field on the muskets of his men. They laid him down under the shade of a tree, a mile from the town. He had recovered consciousness enough to recognize his condition, and the men who were weeping over him.

"He asked them faintly ‘to lay him down, to give him some water, and to leave him.’ ‘I must die. I feel it!’ he said. ‘God bless you! Go back and help some one else, whom you can benefit. I am past it.’

"But they would not leave him; they sat around him trying to stanch the blood watching him for several hours. He was wounded about nine o clock, A. M., and it was past noon before Dr. Anizi Martin, a skillful surgeon, was dispatched by General Breckinridge to look for him. ‘Find Allen. Save him. Stay with him, Doctor! He is as brave a man as God ever made,’ said Breckinridge.

"Martin had him laid in a wagon and taken to the house of Mr. Granville Pierce, six miles back of Baton Rouge [near the intersection of Joor Road and Greenwell Springs Road], where he was most hospitably and warmly welcomed.

"The Surgeons declared amputation of one leg, at least, to be necessary; but Allen refused, saying he would rather die. Dr. Martin then set to work to try and save the life of his willful patient, as well as his legs. A feat which, by the most unintermitting care, skill, and watchfulness, he accomplished.

"He rarely left Allen’s bedside an hour for three consecutive weeks; having been detailed by General Breckinridge for the purpose of attending him. The bones of the right leg were shattered, and a ball had passed through the flesh of the left limb.

"Allen lay here for four months, under the hospitable roof of his kind friends, from whom he received the most devoted attention. I have often heard him speak, and he has written to me, with the deepest emotion and gratitude, of their goodness towards him."
