Abstract

Medicine in the American Civil War (1861–1865) was very different from contemporary medicine. Physicians had far less training and did not know many things taken for granted today, such as the need for cleanliness and an understanding of how disease spreads. Disease killed two soldiers for every one killed directly by a weapon. Casualties often came so fast that doctors had little choice but to resort to amputations, sacrificing limbs to save as many lives as possible. However, the challenges presented by the unprecedented amount of injuries and illnesses of the Civil War resulted in medical innovations that have lasted into the twenty-first century. Dr. Jonathan Letterman treated wounded soldiers during the American Civil War.

281. Analysis: Letters of a Transport Nurse.

Author

Accettola, Anna, M.A.

Subjects
Medical care in the American Civil War, 1861-1865, Wormeley, Katherine Prescott, Nineteenth century, Letters
Abstract

This document is a compilation of letters written by Katherine Prescott Wormeley during her time working for the Sanitary Commission and as a transport nurse and administrator during the Civil War. By examining elements of a few letters, the details of how the injured were administered to and the interactions of noncombatants in the war show the involvement of all people without making distinction for race, wealth, status, or gender. Katherine Wormeley, along with many other high-class women, dove into the war effort in an attempt to alleviate some of the suffering and pain of those who fought for the Union, despite the existing taboo of women involving themselves in such gruesome work or, as Wormeley came to do, managing men in an official capacity. The complete book of these letters was published years later in order to show how women and nurses participated in the war and is justly titled The Other Side of the War with the Army of the Potomac.
