One of the highest-ranking officers who received treatment at the Lutheran Theological Seminary during the Battle of Gettysburg was Confederate Brigadier General James L. Kemper. Kemper, a Virginia lawyer before the war, was severely wounded during Pickett’s Charge. While leading his Brigade during the attack, Kemper was severely wounded in the groin and eventually brought to the Seminary for treatment.
