Reminiscences of Field-Hospital Service With the Army of the Potomac (Classic Reprint) by William Warren Potter Pdf
Excerpt from Reminiscences of Field-Hospital Service With the Army of the Potomac In the Spring of 1862, when the army was moved to the Peninsula, and it became necessary, in order to properly mobilize it for the field, to reduce the baggage and camp equipage to the minimum, each regi ment was allowed but one hospital tent. Depot hospitals were, how ever, on our arrival at the new line of operations, established at the army base, for the reception of the sick in excess of the regimental accommodations. During the siege of Yorktown, conveniences of a like character were provided at Ship Point and at Old Point Comfort. While the army was before Richmond in May and June, 1862, large field-hospitals were established at Savage's Station and at White House; and their capacity was taxed to the uttermost, in the care of the sick and wounded during that portion of the Peninsular campaign.

Hospital Life in the Army of the Potomac by William Howell Reed Pdf
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1866 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IV. TEE SANITARY COMMISSION. 'What becomes of its Money?--Its Operation at Fredericksburg.--Hospital Issues.--The Work of the Commission.--Its Enlargement as the War went on.--The Death Rates of the Army contrasted with the English in the Crimea.--General Belief.--Special Relief.--The Auxiliary Relief Corps.--Its Organization.--Personal Relief.--Hon. Frank B. Fay.--Relief Chests.--Their Contents. IT would be clearly impossible in a few paragraphs to condense all that might be said of the Sanitary Commission. Its service embraced all those more immediate necessities of the soldier, of personal relief, both in the field and in the hospital, and included in its operations a vast aggregate of good, out of the army, which never met the public eye. Its various departments in the field; its bureaus in Washington, Philadelphia, and New York; its beneficent operations all over the continent, wherever a soldier's comfort was to be provided for, or his interests were to be protected, need a volume for the record; and if the story is ever told, it will be one of the brightest pages in our national history. In the operations of this vast campaign it was foremost in everything. It reached the new base as soon as there were soldiers to protect it. It was at work preparing for hospitals and providing necessary stores before the government machinery began to move; and its red flags were seen everywhere with the stars and stripes, establishing its feeding stations and its depots of supplies. It was made supplementary to the government; and thus, in emergencies of great suffering, or when starvation threatened to add its horrors to the miseries of the wounded, the Commission was at hand with its medicines, morphine, or chloroform, saving by them as...

The Women of City Point, Virginia, 1864-1865 by Jeanne Marie Christie Pdf
After more than three years of grim fighting, General Ulysses Grant had a plan to end the Civil War--laying siege to Petersburg, Virginia, thus cutting off supplies to the Confederate capital at Richmond. He established his headquarters at City Point on the James River, requiring thousands of troops, tons of supplies, as well as extensive medical facilities and staff. Nurses flooded the area, yet many did not work in medical capacities--they served as organizers, advocates and intelligence gatherers. Nursing emerged as a noble profession with multiple specialties. Drawing on a range of primary and secondary sources, this history covers the resilient women who opened the way for others into postwar medical, professional and political arenas.

Visions of Glory by Benjamin Fagan,Kathleen Elizabeth Diffley Pdf
Visions of Glory brings together twenty-two images and twenty-two brisk essays, each essay connecting an image to the events that unfolded during a particular year of the Civil War. The book focuses on a diverse set of images that include a depiction of former slaves whipping their erstwhile overseer distributed by an African American publisher, a census graph published in the New York Times, and a cutout of a child's hand sent by a southern mother to her husband at the front. The essays in this collection reveal how wartime women and men created both written accounts and a visual register to make sense of this pivotal period. The collection proceeds chronologically, providing a nuanced history by highlighting the multiple meanings an assorted group of writers and readers discerned from the same set of circumstances. In so doing, this volume assembles contingent and fractured visions of the Civil War, but its differing perspectives also reveal a set of overlapping concerns. A number of essays focus in particular on African American engagements with visual culture. The collection also emphasizes the role that women played in making, disseminating, or interpreting wartime images. While every essay explores the relationship between image and word, several contributions focus on the ways in which Civil War images complicate an understanding of canonical writers such as Emerson, Melville, and Whitman.
