Beskrivelse af Hospital Transports
Hospital Transports is a memoir written by Frederick Law Olmsted, detailing the embarkation of sick and wounded soldiers from the Peninsula of Virginia during the summer of 1862. The book is a first-hand account of Olmsted's experiences as a member of the United States Sanitary Commission, a group responsible for providing medical aid and supplies to Union soldiers during the American Civil War.In his memoir, Olmsted vividly describes the conditions of the hospitals and the transport ships that carried the wounded soldiers. He also provides insight into the challenges faced by the Sanitary Commission in providing care to the sick and injured, including shortages of medical supplies and the difficulties of coordinating with military authorities.Throughout the book, Olmsted emphasizes the importance of the Sanitary Commission's work in improving the conditions for soldiers and helping to save lives. He also expresses his admiration for the bravery and resilience of the soldiers he encountered during his time on the Peninsula.Overall, Hospital Transports is a fascinating and informative memoir that provides a unique perspective on the experiences of soldiers and medical personnel during the Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
