CHAPTER XI DEPOT FIELD HOSPITAL AND STATE AGENCIES AT CITY POINT, VIRGINIA THE hospital was situated half a mile from General Grant's headquarters at City Point, at the junction of the James and Appomatox Rivers, and about eight miles from Petersburg front. The hospital camp, then under the charge of Surgeon Edward Dalton and medical staff, was laid out with great precision. This field hospital was divided into the 9th, 2d, 6th, 5th corps, and corps d'Afric, and these again into divisions, avenues, and streets at right angles, -- numbered and lettered. There were many thousands of sick and wounded in these wards, nine thousand or more at a time, I believe. Convalescent soldiers did police, ward, nurse and kitchen duty. There were hundreds of wards with stockade sides, covered with canvas roofs upheld in the usual manner by ridge and tent poles, each containing probably fifty or more bunks or cots. A perfect system of order and policing by convalescent men was enforced, and not a particle of refuse or any scrap was allowed to lie for a moment upon the immaculate streets or avenues of the "Sacred Soil," which was generally beaten hard and dry, though in wet weather this was a problem to try men's souls and women's soles too. At such times we were obliged to wade through nearly a foot of liquid mud, occasionally sticking fast till pulled out somehow, perhaps with the loss of a high rubber boot. The wards were wonders of cleanliness, considering the disadvantages of field life, and even at that time sanitation was of a high order and, to a great degree, prevented local diseases. Men nurses, soldiers unfit for active duty, took pleasure in fixing up their wards with an attempt at ornamentation, when allowed. These men well deserved their pay, ...

Book excerpt: This book is the story of just one newly graduated nurse told in her own words in her letters home saved by her parents and friends. All these collected letters, repressed memories, and commentary, spell out the details and background for Letters Home. It is one of the few stories of nurses in the Pacific area. In the century’s greatest war, one nurse, one boxful of letters, photos, drawings and documents – and a broken leg at the age of 78, came together here in a warm, honest, sometimes graphic description about a time in history that is slipping from our collective memory. Battles are forever documented, troops heroism is scribed and caught on news clips and film, but the role of nurses has not until recently been well recorded. Nurses too are part of “The Greatest Generation” facing unknown places, unknown dangers, extreme physical discomfort and physical exhaustion. They served alongside America’s finest troops, cared for them when they were sick and injured. They mourned for those who could not make it home. Finally recognized by the opening of the Women’s Memorial in Washington DC, October 1997, are women who served and are serving in the uniform of the United States. They are being honored and remembered for their service in the many branches of the Armed Forces. This book gives a glimpse into the Southwest Pacific area in WWII through the eyes of one nurse who saw and recorded how it was.

Download or read book Memoirs of a Soldier, Nurse, and Spy written by Sarah Emma Evelyn Edmonds and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the hundreds of women who, in disguise, enlisted to serve as men during the Civil War, only Sarah Edmonds is known to have written a memoir recounting her experiences. As "Franklin Thompson," she joined the 2nd Michigan Infantry Regiment in 1861, then fought in some of the bloodiest struggles of the Civil War, from the first battle of Bull Run to the Kentucky Campaign of 1863. This daring woman embarked upon dangerous missions into Confederate territory to gather information and to survey enemy positions, sometimes in the guise of a slave or Irish washerwoman, sometimes in Confederate uniform. Through her experiences as a "male nurse" and Union soldier, Edmonds depicts the horrors of Civil War hospitals and the simple pastimes of camp life. Throughout her impassioned account, first published in 1865, this enthralling storyteller reveals her courage, dedication to the Union, and resourcefulness in concealing her identity. Three years after her death, Edmonds's body was reinterred with military honors by her comrades, who recognized in her a "strong, healthy, and robust soldier, ever willing and ready for duty." The introduction and annotations by Elizabeth D. Leonard, a leading authority on Civil War women, support and amplify Edmonds's account. Challenging established views of the Civil War soldier, Memoirs of a Soldier, Nurse, and Spy is compelling reading, especially for those interested in the Civil War, women's history, American studies, and military history.

Book excerpt: "Tour of Duty - Memories of an Army Nurse" is a deeply moving memoir that unfolds through a series of heartfelt letters written by an Army nurse to her parents during her service in the Vietnam War. This collection of correspondence offers a unique and intimate glimpse into the daily realities, emotional struggles, and profound transformations experienced by a young woman far from home, yet at the heart of one of history's most contentious wars. The book begins with the author's initial letters, filled with optimism and a sense of adventure, as she embarks on her journey to Vietnam. Her early descriptions paint a vivid picture of the country's landscape and her eagerness to make a difference. As the memoir progresses, the tone of the letters shifts, reflecting the author's confrontation with the brutalities of war and the suffering she witnesses in the EVAC hospital where she is stationed. Through her words to her parents, the nurse shares the bonds she forms with her fellow medical staff and the soldiers they treat. She writes of the long, grueling hours, the sounds of helicopters delivering the wounded, and the race against time to provide critical care. The letters are punctuated with moments of humanity-soldiers sharing stories of home, the laughter amidst tears, and the small acts of kindness that provide solace in a war-torn environment. This memoir is a powerful tribute to the courage and sacrifice of military nurses. It provides readers with a personal, unfiltered account of the Vietnam War, as seen through the eyes of a compassionate and courageous woman who served her country with honor. "Tour of Duty - Memories of an Army Nurse" is a compelling read for anyone interested in military history, nursing, or the transformative power of writing through adversity.

Download or read book Lingering Fever written by LaVonne Telshaw Camp and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2012-11-22 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During 1945, the author found herself in the monsoon-drenched jungles of Assam, caring for soldiers in the China-Burma-India theater of war. Nothing in her training had prepared her for the tropical diseases or the thatched-roof hospital where men spat on the floor, rats were pervasive, and patients used handguns to chase gigantic cockroaches (and wereas likely to sell their medicine as swallow it). The experience was made tolerable by Nurse Camp's romance with one of the airmen who flew the Hump, supplying O.S.S. troops behind Japanese lines and carrying General Joseph Stilwell's Chinese troops to fight the battle of North Burma. She accompanied her future husband on some of his missions. Based in part on letters she wrote to her parents, this is the poignant story of one nurse's experience in World War II.
