The way I'd frame it is this: the men I listed had an experience of bodily difference, and impairment; that experience was given various meanings by their historical context, but today we see them as part of the history of disability.Penny L.

Sickle used the insanity defense (successfully) in a murder case while he was a sitting Congressman in the 1850s, and later served another term using a wheelchair and crutches, after a Civil War cannonball injury took his leg. <BR/><Penny L.
