After more than three years of grim fighting, General Ulysses Grant
had a plan to end the Civil War-laying siege to Petersburg,
Virginia, thus cutting off supplies to the Confederate capital at
Richmond. He established his headquarters at City Point on the
James River, requiring thousands of troops, tons of supplies, as
well as extensive medical facilities and staff. Nurses flooded the
area, yet many did not work in medical capacities-they served as
organizers, advocates and intelligence gatherers. Nursing emerged
as a noble profession with multiple specialties. Drawing on a range
of primary and secondary sources, this history covers the resilient
women who opened the way for others into postwar medical,
professional and political arenas.
