Civil War Medicine

By Alfred Jay Bollet

Bollett's history traces how Civil War medical personnel, despite abysmal early standards, swiftly improved to deliver excellent care. The book examines 1860s U.S. medical education, the development of ambulance corps and a sophisticated hospital system, surgical innovations, the management of epidemic diseases, and the contributions of nuns as nurses.
