Bacot's diary of her experiences as a nurse in the South Carolina hospital for Confederate soldiers in Charlottesville, Virginia provides a rare record of Confederate hospital life as perceived by a lady volunteer. Bacot, a young widow, did little actual nursing—that was the job of soldiers, many of them wounded, or of lower-class women. Instead, she supervised patient care. She was also there to supply womanly sympathy and religious consolation. Accompanied to Charlottesville by her maid, Bacot generally paid no more attention to slaves than to furniture. Her diary alternates between grim descriptions of the hospital and cheerful descriptions of her social life. A dutiful daughter of South Carolina, Bacot went to war not to escape the constraints of a Southern woman's role, but to fulfill them in womanly service.
