Folks, this 1st edition is 141 years old!
COPYRIGHT: 1867 with 1867
on
title page, 1st edition
PAGES: 799 pgs
measuring 6" x 8.5"
CONDITION: This 141
year-old book is in solid condition. There is board edgewear and
corner bumping with fraying at the head and heal of the spine. The
outside spine cover has a tear at the bottom about 2.5" from the bottom
but the spine cover isn't loose below or above the tear. There is some
fading and staining on the cover cloth that doesn't affect the interior
or inside boards. The
original dark brown front and rear endpapers are clean but there is
some light fading around the edges. There is a crack through the paper
only in the front inside hinge and the rear inside hinge is just
starting to crack.
There is the usual
age spotting throughout the book with most on the plates, as expected.
All pages and covers are
tight to the
spine. No
marks in the text; book has no odor; pages are not brittle and there's
no missing pages. It is an excellent research/reading book.
The
collection of material for this book was commenced in the autumn of
1863. The writer became so deeply impressed with the extraordinary
sacrifices and devotion of loyal women that he determined to make a
record of them for the honor of his country.
The Preface states:
Meantime the war
still continued, and the collisions between Grant and Lee, in the East,
and Sherman and Johnston, in the South, the fierce campaign between
Thomas and Hood in Tennessee, Sheridan s annihilating defeats of Early
in the valley of the Shenandoah, and Wilson s magnificent expedition in
Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, as well as the mixed naval and
military victories at Mobile and Wilmington, were fruitful in wounds,
sickness, and death. Never had the gentle and patient ministrations of
woman been so needful as in the last year of the war; and never had
they been so abundantly bestowed, and with such zeal and
self-forgetfulness.
From Andersonville, and Millen, from Charleston, and
Florence, from Salisbury, and Wilmington, from Belle Isle, and Libby
Prison, came also, in these later months of the war, thousands of our
bravest and noblest heroes, captured by the rebels, the feeble remnant
of the tens of thousands imprisoned there, a majority of whom had
perished of cold, nakedness, starvation, and disease, in those charnel
houses, victims of the fiendish malignity of the rebel leaders. These
poor fellows, starved to the last degree of emaciation, crippled and
dying from frost and gangrene, many of them idiotic from their
sufferings, or with the fierce fever of typhus, more deadly than sword
or bullet, raging in their veins, were brought to Annapolis and
to Wilmington, and unmindful of the deadly infection, gentle and tender
women ministered to them as faithfully and lovingly, as if they were
their own brothers.
There were many too in still other fields of labor, who showed their
love for their country; the faithful women who, in the Philadelphia
Refreshment Saloons, fed the hungry soldier on his way to or from the
battle-field, till in the aggregate, they had dispensed nearly eight
hundred thousand meals, and had cared for thousands of sick and
wounded; the matrons of the Soldiers Homes, Lodges, and Rests; the
heroic
souls who devoted themselves to the noble work of raising a nation of
bondmen to intelligence and freedom; those who attempted the still more
hopeless task of rousing the blunted intellect and cultivating the
moral nature of the degraded and abject poor whites; and those who in
circumstances of the greatest peril, manifested their fearless and
undying attachment to their country and its flag; all these were
entitled to a place in such a record. What wonder, then, that, pursuing
his self-appointed task assiduously, the writer found it growing upon
him; till the question came, not, who should be inscribed in this
roll, but who could be omitted, since it was evident no single volume
could do justice to all.
Published just after the Civil War ended, this
book gives a far fuller history than is likely to be gotten
from any other source on the labors of women in the hospitals and in
the field, as this sort of service cannot be recorded in the histories
of organized work. Many of these women left their families under
circumstances which involved forsaking their own children to make
children of a whole army corps; they risked their lives in fevered
hospitals; they lived in tents or slept in ambulance wagons for months;
they fell sick of fevers themselves, and after long illness, returned
to the hospitals or field service. Many women tried to offer
themselves to this type of service but failed. Only a few
continued
and succeeded in elbowing room for themselves through the never-ending
obstacles, jealousies and chagrins that beset the service.
This
book
is about some of those women and the hardships they endured to help the
men of the Civil War. |
