Excerpt from In Hospital and Camp: A Woman's Record of Thrilling Incidents Among the Wounded in the Late War Many women, possessed Of independent means, were enabled, under the patronage of the Com missions, and under pretence of aiding the work in the hospitals, to behold the grandeur Of the Capitol, and gratify a taste for romantic adven ture. But how many of these Slept for nights under the white cover Of a tent, on the bare ground, and suffered the pangs Of starvation for days, while they bent over the festering wounds Of dying men? How many endured the horrible Sights Of mangled bodies, just brought in by the ambulance trains from the gory sods, whereon they fell when the foe met them?

Long before the end of the American Civil War, Sophronia Bucklin had seen it all: sickness, shattered bodies, amputations, death, and torrents of blood. In this 1869 book, she spares the reader no detail while humanizing what would otherwise be just statistics of casualties. She and her sister nurses cared for Union and Confederate, black and white, dressed their wounds and held their hands as they died. But she also has stories of hope and happy endings. Like her comrades, they didn't always play by the rules but did what they thought best for the soldiers. She volunteered for service at Gettysburg. She heard the cannons up close and had shrapnel and minnie balls rip through the canvas of her hospital tent. For less than you'd spend on gas going to the library, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Not illustrated. 1876 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VIII. CAVALRY CORPS HOSPITAL, CITY POINT. EARLY in the spring of 1864, General Grant took command of the Army of the Potomac, and preparations were made for breaking up the base at Brandy Station and for a vigorous campaign. In pursuance of an order from head-quarters, there was a general flight of women to Washington. When I next found my division hospital it was at Fredericksburg, Va., after the battle of the Wilderness, May 5th, 6th, and 7th. It would be in vain to attempt a description of the scenes of suffering that crowded on one another there, as our wounded were brought back from the hard fighting of the Wilderness and Spottsylvania. The entire city was turned into a hospital, and the houses were literally filled, from garret to cellar, with our patient, dying soldiers. Thence the Hospital Department was ordered to Port Royal--which was made a base during the fighting at the North Anna River -- and thence to White House Landing, on the Pamunkey. Here we remained for several weeks; the wounded were brought in from the battle of Cold Harbor, and our hospitals were established, and again filled with every conceivable form of suffering. By this time, General D. B. Birney, on whose protection and kindness I had so long relied, was transferred to another command. The old and honored Third Corps, which had so many times stood in the deadly breach, hurling back the tide of invasion that threatened to overwhelm us, was consolidated into the Third Division of the Second Corps. Many of the surgeons with whom I had worked, and other officers, who had been my friends, had left the service at the expiration of their three years' term, or fallen in the recent battles. Finding but few of my old friends remaining, I accepted an invitation...
