Civil War Nurses Bibliography

[John Hartwell]

I've just begun a website containing a bibliography of first hand accounts of nursing during the Civil War. Just 35 titles to begin with, more will be added. Please let me know of any additions or corrections.

It's not much to look at, but I think you will find the information useful. Most of the books are available online for free.

Great idea @John Hartwell ! Thanks for sharing the link

That is just awesome, Jno! Thank you! I'm trying to organize a thread on those lost, during the war, just to begin an awful count. There is none. Unsure how to continue, later. Something far more organized but there's always a starting point. A lot ( so far all I've read but dislike including those I haven't ) of nurse's bios include mention of peers who died while in camps and hospitals, Army, aid workers or women just showing up at battlefields.

Thanks so much for doing this work, will certainly try to add- it isn't likely you're not around 20 laps ahead of me in digging up amazing material.

If you edit the site, maybe include Hathitrust as a source, too? Quite a few titles are there, in Public Access.

Think perhaps there are some titles in files, will go dig, and thanks again.
