Injured during the Civil War by a cannonball, James Edward Hanger became the first amputee of that conflict. Driven by a desire for a better alternative to a peg leg, he founded his own artificial limb company. Hanger's dedication to innovation continued even after retirement, as he supplied prosthetics to victims of World War I.
