This book is of interest not only to students and practitioners of medicine but anyone interested in 19th medicine and the Civil War. Detailed are the education, American Civil War service, and careers of those who served from New Hampshire. They are a good representation of those who served.
It covers their post-war lives and careers as well, some of which spanned the globe.
Included is the remarkable service of Harriet Patience Dame, who was with the 2nd Regiment. She was inside the trenches at Fair Oaks while the rebels were bombarding them and a shell tore through the tent just as she left it, and another burst overhead while she was cooking some broth. She was even captured at one point but paroled.
Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.
For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
