Kenny, and Chris Williams (eds), Life and Limb: Perspectives on the American Civil War (Liverpool , 2016; online edn, Liverpool Scholarship Online, 19 Sept. 2019), https://doi.org/10.3828/liverpool/9781781382509.003.0003, accessed 24 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
Passages here describe the chaos facing front-line casualties as well as the working of the hospitals. The excerpts dramatize the role of women in nursing through excerpts from Louisa May Alcott and others. Walt Whitman figures in this section through his accounts of the war’s ‘interior history’ and his role here is examined by Robert Leigh Davis. The working of the Sanitary Commission is glimpsed as are the racial and gender complications in nursing.
