Contact seller4-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: very good. First edition. First edition. Hardcover. xii+372 pp. with bibliography, index. Fine (ownership signature of a former Princeton University historian front free endpaper) in very good dust jacket. When President Abraham Lincoln signed the order creating the U.S. Sanitar…y Commission, he commented that it might be the ".fifth wheel to the coach.". The Commission was designed to look into the heath and sanitation of the Union Army during the Civil War but soon found itself in the thick of battles of their own; they served troops in camps, on hospital ships, serving surgeons clamoring for medical stores, and more. itizens blessed it, gave it supplies and called upon it to find their wounded and missing man. But they clashed with Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, especially when they shared with Confederate soldies whenever possible, putting humanitarianism before claims of loyalty to localities, states and sections.

Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Good. xii, Preface by Allan Nevins. Biographical Notes. Sources. Bibliography. Index. Autographed on Camp and Field Edition. Item has some wear and soiling. William Quentin Maxwell was a 1951 Guggenheim Fellow in Humanities. The United States Sanitary Commission (USSC) was a private relief agency created by… federal legislation on June 18, 1861, to support sick and wounded soldiers of the United States Army (Federal /Northern / Union Army) during the American Civil War. It operated across the North, raised an estimated $25 million in Civil War era revenue (assuming 1865 dollars, $399.67 million in 2018) and in-kind contributions to support the cause, and enlisted thousands of volunteers. The president was Henry Whitney Bellows, and Frederick Law Olmsted acted as executive secretary. It was modeled on the British Sanitary Commission, set up during the Crimean War (1853-1856), and from the British parliamentary report published after the Indian Mutiny of 1857. In June 1861, the Sanitary Commission set up its central office inside the United States Treasury Building in Washington, D.C. By late October 1861, the USSC Central Office and the U.S. War Department had received detailed studies and reports from the Sanitary Inspectors of more than four hundred regimental camp inspections. The events of those first six months of the war displayed the gravity of the situation in which the adjustment to the means and agencies were desperately needed to ensure a high health-rate in all those untrained Union Army regiments. Derived from a Kirkus Review: this is not a pretty tale, for it is a record of an undertaking to supply the ghastly inadequacies for all phases of sanitary matters in the war. One would have thought the Commission's existence would be welcomed. Instead it became the football of political maneuverings and against amazing odds performed near miracles. An exciting rescue of records that needed to be saved. First Edition/Camp and Field Edition for Civil War Book Club.

Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Preface by Allan Nevins. 8vo. Dark blue cloth with gilt spine lettering, pictorial dust jacket. xii, 372pp. Very good/very good. Faint binding and jacket edgewear, with vertical stain from long-ago tape strip on each pastedown. Quite tight, decent first edition of what Archer Jones critiques as "A scholarly and compre…hensive narrative, covering all aspects of the sick." While this copy is a discreet, inoffensive ex-library copy with very few markings, it bears an outstanding-content autograph addition: Tipped to front flyleaf is a Typed Letter Signed from preface-provider Nevins, 1p, 8" X 10½", New York, NY, 6 April 1956. Addressed to Ralph Newman (1912-99, founder of Chicago's Abraham Lincoln Book Shop). Very good. Original folds. On Columbia University's "Oral History Research Office" letterhead, Nevins chats with his good friend about which Civil War titles should be re-released, perhaps for the Civil War Book Club: "While Vandiver's Confederate High Command does not quite stand along I am sure that in conjunction with another small book it would be very satisfactory. don't you think we ought to agree on a systematic plan for reissuing some of the best short Civil War books; the books that are almost or quite classic in the field? George Cary Eggleston's A Rebel's Recollections.is well worth reissuing. So is Ira S. Dodd's Song of the Rappahannock. So is Henry E. Blake's Three Years With the Army of the Potomac. Most important of all would be a reissue.of the Civil War Diary of George Templeton Strong." Of the book into which this letter is tipped, Nevins comments near the close, "I hope Bill Maxwell's fine book is going well." Boldly signed simply "Allan" in blue ballpoint. ALLAN NEVINS (1890-1971) is the Pulitzer Prize-winning American historian best remembered for his 8-volume "Ordeal of the Union" (1947-71). NEVINS I, 11.
