Faces of Civil War Nurses

*Faces of Civil War Nurses* by Ronald S. Coddington uncovers the untold stories of 77 dauntless women who served as nurses, aid workers, and vivandières during the American Civil War. This microhistory features rare, often unpublished, archival images (tintypes and cartes de visite) alongside biographical sketches drawn from their letters, diaries, pension files, and official reports. Exploring their diverse experiences from both sides of the conflict, the book reveals individual contributions, personal sacrifices, and the lasting bonds formed, tracing their lives through the war and into the postwar era. The fifth volume in Coddington's acclaimed series, this work appeals to readers interested in Civil War history, women's studies, social history, nursing, and photography.
