The American Civil War is the most read about era in our history,
and among its most compelling aspects is the story of Civil War
medicine - the staggering challenge of treating wounds and disease
on both sides of the conflict. Written for general readers and
scholars alike, this first-of-its kind encyclopedia will help all
Civil War enthusiasts to better understand this amazing medical
saga. Clearly organized, authoritative, and readable, "The
Encyclopedia of Civil War Medicine" covers both traditional
historical subjects and medical details. It offers clear
explanations of unfamiliar medical terms, diseases, wounds, and
treatments. The encyclopedia depicts notable medical personalities,
generals with notorious wounds, soldiers' aid societies, medical
department structure, and hospital design and function. It
highlights the battles with the greatest medical significance,
women's medical roles, period sanitation issues, and much more.
Presented in A-Z format with more than 200 entries, the
encyclopedia treats both Union and Confederate material in a
balanced way. Its many user-friendly features include a chronology,
a glossary, cross-references, and a bibliography for further study.
