Question? Is this the First literary Cyborg?

Author: Midnight Blue Date: 03-13-12 14:48 "The earliest cyborg reference found was from the 1839 short story "The Man That Was Used Up" by Edgar Allen Poe. The cyborg in question is Brevet Brigadier General John A. B. C. Smith. From the Wikipedia summary: When [the narrator] visits the General's home, he sees nothing but a strange bundle of items on the floor. The bundle, however, begins to speak. It is the General himself, and his servant begins to "assemble" him, piece by piece. Limbs are screwed on, a wig, glass eye, and false teeth, and a tongue, until the man himself stands "whole." The General has lost more than battles, it seems: he was captured and severely mutilated by Native American warriors and now much of his body is composed of prostheses, which must be put in or on every morning and without which he cannot appear in public." Does anyone else have ideas- I originally thought it was L.Frank Baum's Tin Man
