My story of the war: a woman's narrative of four years personal experience as nurse in the Union army, and in relief work at home, in hospitals, camps, and at the front, during the war of the rebellion...
Mary Livermore's memoir of her years as a Union army nurse and Sanitary Commission relief worker, published in Hartford in 1889 for a general postwar American readership. Steel-engraved plates show cavalry melees around a regimental flag, crowded hospital wards and prison interiors, mounted officers on open fields, and dense crowd scenes rendered in deep tonal shading useful for figure groups and night lighting.
