Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Field-Hospital Service With the Army of the Potomac It is the purpose of the writer in these pages, kindly allotted to the consideration of this interesting phase of army life, to give a succinct account of the field-hospital system of the Army of the Potomac, based upon his experiences of three years service as a medical officer in that army. Minute detail cannot, of course, be entered into within the necessarily narrow limits of a magazine article, - only distinctive features grouped and portrayed in outline. If it were necessary to seek a raison d'etre for the appearance of such an article at this time, when so much is being written about the war and its conduct, it could readily be found in the fact that, so far, only officers of the line have figured in conspicuous prominence, as having achieved renown in the military service. It is an undeniable fact that the medical department of the army was very near the hearts of the millions of patriotic people who, while compelled to remain at home, contributed, with lavish hands, their means and substance toward the successful prosecution of the war. It is presumed that many of these will be interested to know something more of the manner of caring for the sick and wounded, in active service and on the field, than can be gleaned from ordinary or even official sources. The writer served in the various capacities of Assistant Surgeon, and Surgeon on duty with the troops, and as Recorder of the Second Division Hospital, in the Sixth Army Corps; also, as assistant to Chief Operator, as Chief Operator, and as Surgeon-in-Charge of a division field hospital in the Second Army Corps, holding the latter place for more than a year. This statement is made that his opportunities for knowledge as to the working of the system may be understood, and the value of his judgment thereupon properly estimated. An army in the field is, at once, confronted with the difficult problem of properly caring for its sick and wounded, - a question second only in importance to the ever-present one of feeding it. The difficulties increase in a manifold degree if, as was chiefly the case with the Army of the Potomac, the field of operations lies in an enemy's country.

This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Personal Reminiscences of Service in the Cavalry of the Army of the Potomac The campaign of the spring of 1862 showed what some, at least, of the cavalrv did before General Hooker offered his liberal reward for a "dead cavalryman." Those who served in the Army of the Potomac will remember that from the fall of 1861 to the summer of 1862 the cavalry were for the most part scattered about and used as escorts, strikers, dog-robbers, and orderlies for all the generals and their numerous staff officers from the highest in rank down to the second lieutenants. The cavalry force under General George D. Bayard, then colonel of my regiment, consisting of the First New Jersey, Second New York, and First Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiments, was the first brigade organized in that branch of the service in the United States army. The campaign began with easy marches to Catlett's Station, on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, and scouting to Warrenton and Rappahannock Station. On the morning of the 17th of April we left Catlett's Station and moved in the direction of Falmouth. In this movement we were supported by a brigade of infantry commanded by General Augur. On the morning of the 18th, about three o'clock, we charged upon the heights of Falmouth, drove the enemy from their position, and captured the quaint old town, but we were unable to save the bridge spanning the river, as the enemy had set fire to the end on the Fredericksburg side. This was my first experience in a mounted charge of any consequence. In this engagement I was acting as assistant adjutant-general for Bayard, with the rank of first lieutenant. The success of our cavalry engagement gave Bayard his star and promoted me to the rank of captain and the command of a squadron. After a tour of scouting and picketing along the Rappahannock River south of Fredericksburg, we were assigned to General McDowell's corps of observation, which was composed of three divisions of infantry, - McCall's, Shields's, and King's. The operations of this corps were intended to serve either as a protection to the city of Washington or as a reinforcement to McClellan on the Peninsula.
