Because of its location on the periphery of the action, the hospital has remained a footnote to the dramatic sweep of Civil War literature. However, its history and the experiences of the doctors, nurses, patients and guards that gave it life provide a new perspective on the interaction between the army and society in wartime and on life in Civil War America. This in-depth account also explores the barbarities of medicine, daily routine in a general army hospital, the role of citizens in providing aid, the later adventures of former patients and staff, and the final resting places of those who died on the grounds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46864752541847,"sku":"9780786468614","price":2834.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786468614.webp?v=1769975582","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/rhode-islands-civil-war-hospital-life-and-death-at-portsmouth-grove-1862-1865-9780786468614","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
