Book Synopsis Women's Work in the Civil War (Abridged, Annotated) by : Brockett & Vaughn
Download or read book Women's Work in the Civil War (Abridged, Annotated) written by Brockett & Vaughn and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They were young, they were old, they were mothers, sisters, wives, widows, and neighbors. They were ladies of high social position, farmer's wives, and school teachers. Shells and bullets flew through the very tents and hospitals in which they worked. They worked with African-American soldiers, freed slaves, and rebel soldiers. They not only gave up their time and exhausted themselves serving others, many lost their lives to the same diseases that killed the soldiers for whom they were caring. They even fought as soldiers. They were the Union women of the American Civil War and their role in support of the cause was vastly broader and more essential than most people realize. Here are the stories of some of the prominent and the not-so-prominent. Clara Barton, Dorothea Dix, and Emily Parsons are only three of the many women profiled in this work written right after the Civil War. Without their leadership and tireless efforts, the outcome of the war would have been very different.

This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most remarkable collections of letters to come out of the American Civil War is this compilation by the Woolsey family. Educated, aware, and closely affectionate, the family exchanged and kept letters throughout the war. Included in the set are those from family members serving in hospitals, taking collections for soldiers at home, and a soldier serving on the front lines with Grant, Sheridan, and Meade. What was life like for those who watched their country rent by war? The desperate anxiety and despair of the early war and the hopeful expressions later on give a vivid and very human face to an event that, though long past, is still apart of who we are as Americans today. There is also humor and gossip, and an incredible awareness of what was going on in battles far from home. That the collection includes letters from various family members provides a view into Civil War life as no other.

Grant, Dorothea Dix, Clara Barton, and many of the other military men and civilians in the conflict. This lively and engaging memoir is like many of those by nurses of the Civil War.

But they also heard the guns and had rifle balls whistling through their hospital tents. After the war, Ada continued her work to help veterans, as well as engaging in the fight for women's suffrage.

Book Synopsis Echoes of the Civil War as I Hear Them: (Abridged, Annotated) by : Michael Hendrick Fitch
Download or read book Echoes of the Civil War as I Hear Them: (Abridged, Annotated) written by Michael Hendrick Fitch and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on 1905-01-01 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chickamauga, Stone River, Kennesaw Mountain, Atlanta, and Sherman's March to the Sea. Lieutenant Colonel Michael Hendrick Fitch was at all of them and more. Looking back 40 years, he recounts the battles, the humorous tales, the anecdotes of Grant and other famous soldiers whom he met, and simple soldier stories. "As we crossed a creek before arriving at the battlefield, the horses all stopped to drink. Grant pulled out his match-box and lighted a cigar. While he was doing this, his horse let fly with his hind foot at [Baldy] Smith’s horse. Whereupon Smith hit Grant’s horse across the rump with his stick and at the same time made some familiar remark to Grant about riding such a vicious horse. I was looking intently at Grant at the time and was struck with his perfect stolid indifference. He never for an instant changed the position of his hand or head in lighting his cigar, nor said a word, nor did he seem conscious of the episode, though his horse moved up suddenly. I thought it very characteristic of his qualities as a soldier." Front-line letters, diaries, and stories of the Civil War bring an immediacy to a long-ago event and connect us to these everyday men and women who lived it.

Book Synopsis The Medical Department in the Civil War (Classic Reprint) by : Silas Weir Mitchell
Download or read book The Medical Department in the Civil War (Classic Reprint) written by Silas Weir Mitchell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Medical Department in the Civil War When on April 12, 1861, we heard that the flag had been fired on at Fort Sumter, a universal sense of insult roused the North. The churches North and South fell apart and the pulpit knew no more the charity which covers a multitude of sins. Even the old patriotic society of the Cincinnati lost its unity. Officers of the army and navy made their choice with which section they would stand, and it may be strange to you to learn the little-known fact that of W est Point Southern graduates nearly 50 per cent. Remained loyal to the flag as men of the North read loyalty, at what cost of family affection lost and of broken friendships you can easily imagine. It was very long after the war before these wounds were healed and innumerable family differences passed away. Alas. In some cases sectional hatreds were carried unsettled to another world than ours. Not without reason have I made this digression. The ancient guild of physicians alone remained an unbroken organization - the offspring of Science and Charity, faithful to a creed centuries old when Christ was born. In hospitals and on the field of battle, where the surgeon ruled, there was the truce of God; and Letterman, the able surgeon-in-chief of the Army of the Potomac, merely put conduct into words when he said, The wounded man ceases to be an enemy. I despair of making you realize through statistics the vastness of our task. Large figures only bewilder theimagination and do not fully assist it to realize how perfect was our achievement through those years of disaster and final triumph, Which blazoned duty's stainless shield And set a star in honor's sky. How were we prepared to meet the demands of war? The old medical department of the army con sisted of thirty surgeons and eighty-three assistants. Of these, twenty-four resigned to take part in the rebellion and three were dismissed for disloyalty; thirteen were natives of the South, but stood true to the flag. Soon after the beginning of the war it was found necessary, owing to age, to permit the surgeon general to retire. Owing largely to pressure made by the Sanitary Commission and the profession, his place was filled by raising from the rank of assistant sur geon Dr. William A. Hammond. He fell at once into a tremendous business spreading over great spaces of country, increasing in perplexity, and making fresh demands every week, and at last so large that there was expended for ice alone in one year more than the whole amount of money which in peace sufficed for the entire medical service of the army. The organization also demanded complete revision, and, in fact, as the new surgeon-general said, there was not an aspect of his work which was not foggy with embarrassments.
