“During the American Civil War, we see for the first time middle class women seeking work for a variety of reasons--economic need as farms and other businesses failed, opportunity to do something to support male family member's war efforts, opportunity to be a part of something greater than oneself, answer of a spiritual call to action. Some heeded to the call to nurse.
Pamela D. Toler writes about nurses who served with such love and courage that they seem to be alive in some parallel reality, definitely not long dead.
The accessibility of this book can fool a reader into thinking this is an overview, a light read. It is not. The subject is serious, treated with respect, bases are covered, personalities and characters well described, nursing challenges described, a variety of hospitals described, and more yet. This a well written book worthy of respect.”
