The Soldier’s Friend; Being a Thrilling Narrative of Grandma Smith's Four Years Experience and Observation, as Matron, in the Hospitals of the South, During the late Disastrous conflict in America
Description
“This book was published to show the horrors of war and to discourage any repetition. Nevertheless, it is more concerned with traveling from one hospital to another, by discussing the general progress of the war, and with recording many conversations with patients in hospitals, townspeople, and acquaintances. Susan Smith was a native of Tennessee, and at the outbreak of the war, she immediately interested herself in the welfare of the Confederate soldiers and found that she could make her greatest contribution to hospital service. She spent more time in the Cuthbert, Georgia, hospital than in any other-a period of two years. She also served in hospitals at Chattanooga, Tunnel Hill, Griffin, and Covington, Georgia, and Columbus, Mississippi.”
