Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a highly detailed first-person account of the author's experiences volunteering during the Civil War. Through her work in hospitals established for soldiers in the war's Western theater, she witnessed the terrible effects of disease and battlefield wounds on the Union sold…iers returning from battle. In this memoir, she shares her personal observations on the realities and deprivations of wartime medical care, and also reveals her extraordinary determination and ability to secure the establishment of much-needed field hospitals in the North for soldiers too ill to stay on the front lines. The author's firsthand account of her meetings with Secretary of War Edwin Stanton and President Abraham Lincoln to advocate for better care for wounded soldiers provides a unique glimpse into the workings of power during the Civil War. Her efforts eventually led to the establishment of Harvey Hospital, named after her late husband, which provided much-needed care for thousands of soldiers. This book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the experiences of women and civilians during the Civil War, and provides an intimate look at the realities of medical care and the fight for better treatment for soldiers during this tumultuous time in American history.
