(KEARSARGE, the first of four U.S. Navy ships to bear that name, was in commission from 1861 through 1894. She had first achieved distinction by sinking the CSS ALABAMA off the coast of France on 19 June 1864.)"--Introduction.

Book excerpt: William Mervale Smith, surgeon of the 85th New York Volunteer Infantry, faithfully kept a diary of his Civil War experiences. Smith's introspective musings cover matters both professional and personal, from the horror of battle and the almost equally terrible politics of war to his deepest longings and questions about love and spirituality. While some diarists wrote self-consciously, anticipating eventual publication of their words, Smith's entries, as author Thomas Lowry explains, "are of such a personal and self-revelatory nature that we can reasonably conclude that he wrote to himself alone, as a sort of spiritual exercise of self-communication."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This e-book features the complete text found in the print edition of Dangerous Work, without the illustrations or the facsimile reproductions of Conan Doyle's notebook pages. In 1880 a young medical student named Arthur Conan Doyle embarked upon the “first real outstanding adventure” of his life, taking a berth as ship’s surgeon on an Arctic whaler, the Hope. The voyage took him to unknown regions, showered him with dramatic and unexpected experiences, and plunged him into dangerous work on the ice floes of the Arctic seas. He tested himself, overcame the hardships, and, as he wrote later, “came of age at 80 degrees north latitude.” Conan Doyle’s time in the Arctic provided powerful fuel for his growing ambitions as a writer. With a ghost story set in the Arctic wastes that he wrote shortly after his return, he established himself as a promising young writer. A subsequent magazine article laying out possible routes to the North Pole won him the respect of Arctic explorers. And he would call upon his shipboard experiences many times in the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, who was introduced in 1887’s A Study in Scarlet. Out of sight for more than a century was a diary that Conan Doyle kept while aboard the whaler. Dangerous Work: Diary of an Arctic Adventure makes this account available for the first time. With humor and grace, Conan Doyle provides a vivid account of a long-vanished way of life at sea. His careful detailing of the experience of arctic whaling is equal parts fascinating and alarming, revealing the dark workings of the later days of the British whaling industry. In addition to the transcript of the diary, the e-book contains two nonfiction pieces by Doyle about his experiences; and two of his tales inspired by the journey. To the end of his life, Conan Doyle would look back on this experience with awe: “You stand on the very brink of the unknown,” he declared, “and every duck that you shoot bears pebbles in its gizzard which come from a land which the maps know not. It was a strange and fascinating chapter of my life.” Only now can the legion of Conan Doyle fans read and enjoy that chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An incredible resource for anyone interested in the human experience of the Civil War―as recorded by a medical professional tasked with saving lives.”—David Price, Executive Director of the National Museum of Civil War Medicine In this never before published diary, twenty-nine-year-old surgeon James Fulton transports readers into the harsh and deadly conditions of the Civil War as he struggles to save the lives of the patients under his care. Fulton joined a Union army volunteer regiment in 1862, only a year into the Civil War, and immediately began chronicling his experiences in a pocket diary. Despite his capture by the Confederate Army at Gettysburg and the confiscation of his medical tools, Fulton was able to keep his diary with him at all times. He provides a detailed account of the next two years, including his experiences treating the wounded and diseased during some of the most critical campaigns of the war, and his relationships with soldiers, their commanders, civilians, other health-care workers, and the opposing Confederate army. The diary also includes his notes on recipes for medical ailments from sore throats to syphilis. In addition to Fulton’s diary, editor Robert D. Hicks and experts in Civil War medicine provide context and additional information on the practice and development of medicine during the Civil War, including the technology and methods available at the time; the organization of military medicine; doctor-patient interactions; and the role of women as caregivers and relief workers. Civil War Medicine: A Surgeon’s Diary provides a compelling new account of the lives of soldiers during the Civil War and a doctor’s experience of one of the worst health crises ever faced by the United States.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from From the Deep of the Sea: Being the Diary of the Late Charles Edward Smith, Surgeon of the Whale-Ship Diana, of Hull My late father's diary of his terrible experiences in the whale-ship Diana in 1866-67 has been in my possession for a great number of years. It was not until a ship I was surgeon of happened to go to Hull in October, 1920, that I became aware of there being some relics of the Diana in existence still, and on exhibition in two of the Hull museums. It was the sight of these relics that reawakened my interest in the story of the Diana, and which impelled me to take in hand at last my father's old manuscript with a view to editing it for publication. The curator of the Hull museums - Mr. Thomas Sheppard, F.G.S., F.R.G.S. - very kindly looked through the diary, and encouraged me in the project; I take this opportunity of thanking him for his ready assistance. An account - evidently largely drawn from my father's diary - of the Diana's fatal voyage appeared first in the Cornhill Magazine in 1867. This article was written by the late Captain Allan Young, commanding the "discovery ship" Pandora. His preliminary remarks in that article will serve admirably to explain here the general scheme under which the British whale-ships worked some sixty, seventy and more years ago, a scheme which the Diana was following on this particular voyage. Captain Young wrote: "Owing to the high value of whale-oil and seal-skins, and the great demand for whale-bone (which had reached the value of nearly 700 a ton), quite a fine fleet of steam and sailing vessels used to leave various English and Scottish ports for the Greenland seas.
