Cumming served as a hospital matron in Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama, providing personal services and comfort for the wounded, and supervised the food and cleanliness of the hospitals. She exhorted women to serve in hospitals. Cumming's interests and descriptions extend beyond the hospitals. Her numerous travels between hospitals brought her into contact with a variety of Southerners and allowed her to observe the effects of the war on civilians. She was appalled by conditions at Andersonville Prison. As Sherman marched across Georgia, she observed how the residents of the region feared that once released, the Union prisoners of Andersonville would seek vengeance. In Mobile near the end of the war, she described the city's gaiety and felt the civilians looked well-fed despite popular complaints of shortages. When Federal troops occupied the city, the soldiers were treated by the ladies as if they were invisible. Cumming made a long list of the South's wartime shortcomings at the end of her work. Nevertheless, she hoped that everyone would learn the lesson the war was designed to teach: "that all things sublunary are transient and fleeting, and lift our souls to that which is ever-enduring and immutable-God and eternity," (p. 307).
