Title

Hospital Pencillings: Being a Diary While in Jefferson General Hospital, Jeffersonville, Ind., and Others at Nashville, Tennessee, as Matron and Visitor

Description

"The book is less an account of scenes inside hospital walls than its title indicates. Her story is about equally divided between her observations in Nashville, TN, her experiences in the hospital in Jeffersonville, IN, and her travels between these places, down the Ohio River to Louisville and by train to Nashville. She was a friendly person and a close observer, who kept her diary filled with notes and interviews. When she arrived at Nashville, she acquainted herself with the principal mansions, estates, and objects of historical interest in the city and vicinity. This book is a first-rate account of that part of the Confederacy which was within the Federal lines."
