Well written, scholarly book on the women who volunteered to nurse during the Civil War. Covers both the women hired by Dorothea Dix as well as those who volunteered unofficially and through organizations such as the Sanitary Commission and others, both North and South. Excellent information on many of the women we already know but includes good material on numerous women new to us who should be added to the Register. Substantial endnotes, good bibliography.
