Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Florence Nightingale, of the Southern Army: Experiences of Mrs. Ella K. Newsom, Confederate Nurse in the Great War of 1861-65 In the compilation of this narrative an attempt has been made to present a sketch of a devoted Christian woman who did her duty faithfully as she saw it. No effort has been made to give a false coloring to any of the pictures exhibited, but to present a straightforward narrative collected from imperfectly preserved data. The writer incorporates here a part of what he wrote for the American Tribune of Indianapolis in 1895. "Viewed from the standpoint of a Northern resident and a participant in the Union Army for the defense of the nation, the effort to establish a Southern Confederacy was not only a physical and a moral impossibility, but its success, had it been accomplished, would have been a dire calamity even to those who were supposed to be the greatest recipients of benefits. This belief, however, does not detract in the least degree from according sincerity of purpose, evidence of the highest bravery and consecration, and the most unselfish devotion to those involved on the other side of the bloody controversy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The War Between the States had the by-product of great advancement in the knowledge of medical care, especially in victims of trauma. It also made for great strides in the development of the profession of Nursing. When the war began in 1861, no organized medical corps, field hospital services, or military nurses existed. Neither were there any nursing credentials. The label, "nurse," was ambiguous, and could mean an officer's wife who went with her husband to the battlefield, a woman who came to care for a wounded son or husband, and stayed to care for others, or a member of a Catholic religious community that performed works of mercy, including the nursing of the sick. It was with the Sisters of Mercy in Memphis Tennessee that our heroine received her first training.While you may have heard of Clara Barton, Dorothea Dix, or even Kate Cumming, you may not have heard of Ella King Newsom. This is the story of a heroic and unselfish woman whose devotion to the cause of the sick and suffering soldiers of the Confederate army, richly deserves to be called the "Florence Nightingale of the South." While a Southerner and supporter of the Confederate cause, Mrs. Newsom made no distinction between the North and the South when it came to nursing the wounded and sick. This book was written by a former Union Volunteer whom she had comforted and nursed while he was in his teens. Never forgetting her tender care, he, when learning of her misfortunes in later life, determined to help provide for her. This book was part of that project. It deals primarily with the Western Theater of the War.

Download or read book Florence Nightingale The Crimean War written by Lynn McDonald and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 1096 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Florence Nightingale is famous as the “lady with the lamp” in the Crimean War, 1854—56. There is a massive amount of literature on this work, but, as editor Lynn McDonald shows, it is often erroneous, and films and press reporting on it have been even less accurate. The Crimean War reports on Nightingale’s correspondence from the war hospitals and on the staggering amount of work she did post-war to ensure that the appalling death rate from disease (higher than that from bullets) did not recur. This volume contains much on Nightingale’s efforts to achieve real reforms. Her well-known, and relatively “sanitized”, evidence to the royal commission on the war is compared with her confidential, much franker, and very thorough Notes on the Health of the British Army, where the full horrors of disease and neglect are laid out, with the names of those responsible.

Download or read book Florence Nightingale on Wars and the War Office written by Lynn McDonald and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 1056 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 15 of the Collected Works of Florence Nightingale, Wars and the War Office, picks up on the previous volume’s recounting of Nightingale’s famous work during the Crimean War and the comprehensive analysis she did on its high death rates. This volume moves on to the implementation of the recommendations that emerged from that research and to her work to reduce deaths in the next wars, beginning with the American Civil War. Nightingale’s writings describe the creation of the Army Medical School, the vast improvements made in the statistical tracking of disease, and new measures for soldiers’ welfare. Her role in the formulation of the first Geneva Convention in 1864 is related, along with her concern that voluntary relief efforts through the Red Cross not make war “cheap.” Nightingale was decorated by both sides for her work in the Franco-Prussian War. While much of her work concerned the mundane sending out of supplies, we see also in her writing her emerging interest in militarism as the cause of war. Her opposition to the Afghan War (of her time) and her work to provide nursing for the Egyptian campaigns, the Zulu War, and the start of the Boer War are also included.

Download or read book The Journal of Anne Reading written by MARGARET GARRETT IRWIN and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2006-05-16 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anne Reading, an ordinary woman from London describes her extraordinary life. In 1855 she travels to the Crimea with Florence Nightingale and nurses the sick and wounded of the British Army. Five years later, she takes a six week voyage to New York aboard a sailing ship. Anne finds work at St. LukeÕs hospital. The following year brings the start of the Civil War. In 1862 Anne leaves St. LukeÕs and travels south to the headquarters of the Union Army in Washington. She was hired by Dorothea Dix, Superintendent of female nurses to the Federal Army and also known as the American Florence Nightingale. AnneÕs saga becomes the story of her life among the wounded. She describes experiences on hospital ships and in a former hotel converted into a hospital in Alexandria, Virginia. The diary chronicles the impact of atrocities on the soldiers. The general social unrest which developed in the northern cities as the war continues and the riots against the drafting of young men into the army against their will, makes very interesting reading. Anne married Andrew Furry in October, 1862 and soon gave up nursing and returned to the New York area. She does different work while waiting for him to be released from the army. She provides a detailed account of the death of President Lincoln and an eye witness account of his lying in state and funeral procession through New York in 1865. The diary continues with the FurrysÕ married life in Pennsylvania and New Jersey highlighted with the marriage of AnneÕs younger sister, Jenny and a swimming party at Coney Island. In 1870, Anne FurryÕs mother, Anne Reading writes about her trip to visit her daughter, with another daughter and the diary closes with the two of them returning to Bethnal Green, London, one year later.
