Identifier: Sub-Series 17
Scope and Contents
Many Civil War nurses wrote about their experiences in letters and diaries but two nurses went on to achieve fame in American literature. Whitman’s poems and newspaper articles and Alcott’s story, Hospital Sketches, resonate even today with their passionate portrayal of the horrors of war and the heroism of those who sought to alleviate some of the pain.
