How Beaumont got its name
Beaumont is named for William Beaumont MD who in 1822 at an isolated army outpost on Mackinac Island Michigan made a breakthrough in the study of human digestion and physiology After a French Canadian trapper suffered an abdominal wound that healed with a permanent opening Dr Beaumont took the opportunity to study digestion both inside and outside the stomach He conducted 238 experiments and published several reports that were considered the most important work on human digestion at that time
