Publisher's Synopsis
Hospital Sketches is a collection of essays written by Robert Swain Peabody, first published in 1916. The book is a memoir of Peabody's experiences as a volunteer nurse during the American Civil War. Peabody provides vivid descriptions of the hospitals and the patients he encountered during his service, including wounded soldiers and prisoners of war. The essays also explore the emotional toll of war on both the patients and the nurses, and the challenges they faced in providing care under difficult conditions.
