Recounts the first experience of women nurses in an American war
Although the Civil War was the first major American conflict in
which women nurses played a significant role, the dearth of
information about these women makes the diary of a Southern medical
worker an especially important document. A Confederate Nurse
records the daily experiences, hardships, and joys of Ada W. Bacot,
a plantation owner and childless widow whose Southern patriotism
prompted her to leave her native South Carolina to care for wounded
Confederates in Charlottesville, Virginia. Bacot's journal sheds
light on her own experiences and also on the themes that dominated
the lives of Southern white women throughout the nineteenth
century. A Confederate Nurse reveals the Confederate nationalism
that motivated some Southern women and the work these women
performed to sustain the war effort.
