The paper was originally presented as a speech to the Salt Lake County Medical Society. Major Girard provided expert testimony in relation to the deadly or severe wounding effect of what he considered to be small caliber weapons at long ranges (in excess of 1000 yards). The weapons were anything but "small" caliber by modern standards. But given that the study of the laws that govern the effect of shot on animal tissue were relatively new at this time Girard offers a great deal that is important.
