He graduated from South Carolina Medical College in 1850 and then studied at several European Universities. In 1858 he became Professor of Surgery at his old College. During the Civil War he tended the Confederate wounded at Fort Sumter. After the war in 1869 he moved to Baltimore as professor of operative surgery and held appointment of Dean of the Faculty 1869/1874. This gave him the opportunity of writing his text book entitled "Manuel of Military Surgery."
