Jockey Charbonneau’s 1908 Butte crash and memory loss
The case of Charbonneau, a rising jockey, details a severe 1908 accident at the Butte track that fractured his skull, broke ribs, and left memory blank for months. He recovered physically but his mind remained blank about riding and his past, with gradual recollection and scattered episodes at Murray’s hospital and through subsequent racing tours.
