John Barnard Swett Jackson was Harvard Medical School's first professor of pathological anatomy and first curator of the Warren Anatomical Museum. He published catalogues of the specimens in the museum of the Boston Society for Medical Improvement (1847) as well as the Warren (1870). Four days after John Collins Warren's death, Dr. Jackson, with the assistance of Calvin Ellis, examined the body and produced this report. Dr. Warren's bones were subsequently preserved and kept for educational purposes in the Warren Anatomical Museum. Excerpt from John Barnard Swett Jackson's autopsy report for John Collins Warren (1778-1856)
