Download or read book The Great Heart of the Republic written by Adam Arenson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-03 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the battles to determine the destiny of the United States in the middle decades of the nineteenth century, St. Louis, then at the hinge between North, South, and West, was ideally placed to bring these sections together. At least, this was the hope of a coterie of influential St. Louisans. But their visions of re-orienting the nation's politics with Westerners at the top and St. Louis as a cultural, commercial, and national capital crashed as the country was tom apart by convulsions over slavery, emancipation, and Manifest Destiny. While standard accounts frame the coming of the Civil War as strictly a conflict between the North and the South who were competing to expand their way of life, Arenson shifts the focus to the distinctive culture and politics of the American West, recovering the region’s importance for understanding the Civil War and examining the vision of western advocates themselves, and the importance of their distinct agenda for shaping the political, economic, and cultural future of the nation.

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 1098 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.

Sir Longmore's 'A Treatise on Gunshot Wounds' is a comprehensive and groundbreaking work that delves into the medical aspects of treating gunshot injuries.

Longmore's writing style is clear and precise, making it accessible to both medical professionals and curious readers interested in the field of medicine. The book also includes illustrations and case studies to support its findings, enhancing the reader's understanding of the subject matter. Positioned within the historical context of advancements in medical science, 'A Treatise on Gunshot Wounds' serves as an important reference for the evolution of medical practices in the treatment of traumatic injuries. T. Sir Longmore, a distinguished surgeon and military physician, draws upon his extensive experience in the field to provide valuable insights into the management of gunshot wounds. His expertise and dedication to improving medical care for wounded soldiers are evident throughout the book, cementing his reputation as a respected authority in the medical community. I highly recommend 'A Treatise on Gunshot Wounds' to readers interested in the history of medicine, military healthcare, or medical treatments for trauma. This book not only offers valuable knowledge but also sheds light on the challenges faced by medical practitioners in the past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report to the Western Sanitary Commission: On the General Military Hospitals of St. Louis, Mo Thus far, this is a general introduction to the Military Hospitals of St. Louis, a more detailed account follows. It will be seen that St. Louis need not fear comparison with any other city in hospital enterprises, and may be proud of the gigantic work done, under such trying and unfavorable circumstances. Thanks to the great liberality of the whole nation, the Western Sanitary Commission has been enabled to render efficient aid to the sick and wounded soldiers, though frequently thwarted in their philanthropic labors. The enlightened views of major-generals Fremont and Halleck, Com manding this Department, whose countenance and encouragement never failed them, are gratefully acknowledged, as, without them, the efforts of the Western Sanitary Commission would have been limited in their results. In the detailed report of the St. Louis Military Hospitals, I will endeavor to give the capacity, in cubic feet, of each room occupied by patients, the number of beds, and consequently the quantity of atmospheric air allowed to each patient. There will be found nearly as great a variety as there are rooms for there are but few of equal dimensions, and containing the same number of beds.

Download or read book A Clearing In The Distance written by Witold Rybczynski and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-07-23 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a brilliant collaboration between writer and subject, Witold Rybczynski, the bestselling author of Home and City Life, illuminates Frederick Law Olmsted's role as a major cultural figure at the epicenter of nineteenth-century American history. We know Olmsted through the physical legacy of his stunning landscapes -- among them, New York's Central Park, California's Stanford University campus, and Boston's Back Bay Fens. But Olmsted's contemporaries knew a man of even more extraordinarily diverse talents. Born in 1822, he traveled to China on a merchant ship at the age of twenty-one. He cofounded The Nation magazine and was an early voice against slavery. He managed California's largest gold mine and, during the Civil War, served as the executive secretary to the United States Sanitary Commission, the precursor of the Red Cross. Rybczynski's passion for his subject and his understanding of Olmsted's immense complexity and accomplishments make his book a triumphant work. In A Clearing in the Distance, the story of a great nineteenth-century American becomes an intellectual adventure.
