註釋

This work of fiction based on a true story tells the tale of railroad foreman Phineas Gage, who, in 1848, had a three-foot long, inch-and-a-half diameter, thirteen pound iron rod blast through his skull, taking out part of his brain. The doctor who treated him, John M. Harlow, valiantly fought the medical establishment to prove the authenticity and merit of the case, as Phineas began a journey into a changed personality which included time with the P.T. Barnum freak show, and eventually as a stage coach driver in South America.
