C.S.A. & U.S.A. Surgeons- Piece of History

[CW_Surgeon_1862]

Hello. I have posted this under the New Member section but did not know if anyone was getting a look at it. Here I have a couple of books that feature a C.S.A. surgeon and a U.S.A. surgeon. It is interesting history and history us nuts......uh I mean anyone interested in Civil War history could enjoy. I hope you enjoy the little research project I have completed. Any questions about Civil War medical books let me know.

Clara,

I love your name. What a great great woman of the Civil War. I have another little item to share with you. This stamp came from a book called Military Medical and Surgical Essays edited by William Hammond. It is the Angel of the Battlefield descending down upon a soldier and his surgeon. It was put together for the Sanitary Commission that Clara was so much a part of. And she was also considered the Angel of the Battlefield. The book was published in 1864. Below are links to pictures of the stamp:

CW_Surgeon,

The stamp is impressive. I'll have to try to make an avatar of it. CivilWarTalk forum has the most scholarly, well-read group of people I've ever encountered ... you're going to fit right in.

Welcome!

CW Surgeon, do you know where I can get ahold of a Cullen's Nosology in English, for not too much?

I keep waiting for it to show up in Project Gutenburg but it hasn't yet!

Thank you! Also note the cross on the angel. And who was considered the founder of the Red Cross? You
Clara. When I got the book and studied the stamp it became very special.

I do not Blue. The only copies I find are $400+. I do know where a rather rough copy lies for a little over $100. 1800 edition published in Edinburgh.
