Biography & Autobiography. Science. Young Adult Nonfiction. HTML:

Phineas Gage was truly a man with a hole in his head. Phineas, a railroad construction foreman, was blasting rock near Cavendish, Vermont, in 1848 when a thirteen-pound iron rod was shot through his brain. Miraculously, he survived to live another eleven years and become a textbook case in brain science.

At the time, Phineas Gage seemed to completely recover from his accident. He could walk, talk, work, and travel, but he was changed. Gage "was no longer Gage," said his Vermont doctor, meaning that the old Phineas was dependable and well liked, and the new Phineas was crude and unpredictable.

His case astonished doctors in his day and still fascinates doctors today. What happened and what didn't happen inside the brain of Phineas Gage will tell you a lot about how your brain works and how you act human.

A couple of my kids have read this so I wanted to, as well. It was super interesting, for sure! The following quote provided interesting food for thought, though I'm not sure of the answer:

"If there are exact locations in the brain that allow for the ability to hear or to breathe, is there a place that generates human social behavior? If that place is damaged, do you stop acting human?" ( )

Putting in donate box, read years ago.

Fine account of the unfortunate man. The brain is a terrific place, in every sense of the word. ( )

Wow, this isn't a nice book. You probably wouldn't want to talk about it at the dinner table, but there are worse stories. But it is so amazing, such proof of how we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Warning: This book talks about blood and gore. Also chapter two is pure science. ( )

I picked this book up to read for task 6: Read a Biography (Not a Memoir or Autobiography) for the Book Riot's read harder challenge. I downloaded this book to my kindle from my library's ebooks. I found it by searching for biographies. Since I downloaded it without really getting to see the book, I didn't realize it was geared towards younger readers until I started reading it.

This book covers a portion of the life of Phineas Gage, a medical miracle who survived being skewered through the brain. His is a fascinating case that advanced our understanding of brain injuries. Unfortunately, although portions of his life are well documented, there are many gaps in his story. I really wanted to know more about him. This was definitely an interesting book and I think it would appeal to middle grade readers. ( )

"I said at the beginning that you decide for yourself what kind of luck he had at the end. This is what I think: Phineas Gage was lucky. His accident was terrible. It changed him into someone else, and yet Phineas figured out how to live as that new person for eleven years. He was limited in ways that are important to all human beings, but he found a way to live, working with horse. He took care of himself. He saw the world. He died with his family around him, the only people who knew both the old and new Phineas."
