Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Medical Department in the Civil War When on April 12, 1861, we heard that the flag had been fired on at Fort Sumter, a universal sense of insult roused the North. The churches North and South fell apart and the pulpit knew no more the charity which covers a multitude of sins. Even the old patriotic society of the Cincinnati lost its unity. Officers of the army and navy made their choice with which section they would stand, and it may be strange to you to learn the little-known fact that of W est Point Southern graduates nearly 50 per cent. Remained loyal to the flag as men of the North read loyalty, at what cost of family affection lost and of broken friendships you can easily imagine. It was very long after the war before these wounds were healed and innumerable family differences passed away. Alas. In some cases sectional hatreds were carried unsettled to another world than ours. Not without reason have I made this digression. The ancient guild of physicians alone remained an unbroken organization - the offspring of Science and Charity, faithful to a creed centuries old when Christ was born. In hospitals and on the field of battle, where the surgeon ruled, there was the truce of God; and Letterman, the able surgeon-in-chief of the Army of the Potomac, merely put conduct into words when he said, The wounded man ceases to be an enemy. I despair of making you realize through statistics the vastness of our task. Large figures only bewilder theimagination and do not fully assist it to realize how perfect was our achievement through those years of disaster and final triumph, Which blazoned duty's stainless shield And set a star in honor's sky. How were we prepared to meet the demands of war? The old medical department of the army con sisted of thirty surgeons and eighty-three assistants. Of these, twenty-four resigned to take part in the rebellion and three were dismissed for disloyalty; thirteen were natives of the South, but stood true to the flag. Soon after the beginning of the war it was found necessary, owing to age, to permit the surgeon general to retire. Owing largely to pressure made by the Sanitary Commission and the profession, his place was filled by raising from the rank of assistant sur geon Dr. William A. Hammond. He fell at once into a tremendous business spreading over great spaces of country, increasing in perplexity, and making fresh demands every week, and at last so large that there was expended for ice alone in one year more than the whole amount of money which in peace sufficed for the entire medical service of the army. The organization also demanded complete revision, and, in fact, as the new surgeon-general said, there was not an aspect of his work which was not foggy with embarrassments.

This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 946 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Medical Department of the United States Army in the World War, 1928, Vol. 3: Finance and Supply The purpose of this volume is to record the manner in which the Medical Department functioned as a supply department during the World War and to give details concerning Selected articles Of supply. Because of the breadth of the subject, it is manifestly impossible to include herein all matters relating either to the administrative features of the subject or to the supplies themselves. Since this is the first time an attempt has been made to consider fully the his tory of Medical Department supplies, it is appropriate that due consideration be given to the pre-war history of supplies. More especially does this apply to that period of time intervening between the spanish-american War and the World War, for it was during this interval that the Medical Department not only brought its field equipment to a high state of e mciency but also established for itself a reasonable reserve of such equipment. Furthermore, the supply experiences of the Medical Department in connection with the Mexican border mobilization of our Army (1911 - 1916) make a fitting prelude to any considera tion of World War medical supply matters, for the one merged imperceptibly into the other. It is to be regretted that it has been possible, through lack of space, to use only two of the reports of activities Of the medical supply depots in the United States. The report of the New York medical supply depot was chosen as the type depot for description, because it always has been our most important depot and was the parent from Which the others might be considered to have sprung. While its methods of procedure may have differed in certain respects from those of the other depots, and while it is true that some depots handled certain classes Of articles to a preponderant extent, nevertheless the account Of one of these supply depots answers present purposes very well. On the other hand, since the motor ambulance supply depot at Louisville was the only depot of its kind, a chapter has been devoted to it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From a Surgeon of the Civil War Although there are gaps in the order of the correspondence, it is sufficiently connected to tell its own story. John G. Perry of Boston, Mass., entered Harvard College in 1858, bearing with him a very youthful attachment; and in the undoubting judgment of youth, he and I, but boy and girl, in light-hearted gayety strolled one evening in the moonlight to consider the unsupportable length of time before living our lives together. First the present college term; then the Medical School and hospital service after, for even in childhood John was called "the little doctor."
