Pàgina 132 - I thought so, ma'am. You can always tell; when people are good to soldiers they are sure to have friends in the army.' ' We are rebels, you know, ma'am,' another said. 'Do you treat rebels so?' It was strange to see the good brotherly feeling come over the soldiers, our own and the rebels, when side by side they lay in our tents. ' Hullo, boys ! this is the pleasantest way to meet, isn't it? We are better friends when we are as close as this than a little farther off.
Pàgina 127 - So off start all who think they feel well enough ; anything better than the 'hospitals,' so called, for the first few days after a battle. Once the men have the surgeons' permission to go, they are off; and there may be an interval of a day, or two days, should any of them be too weak to reach the train in time, during which these poor fellows belong to no one, — the hospital at one end, the railroad at the other, — with far more than a chance of falling through between the two.
Pàgina 191 - Its organization, experience, and large facilities for the work are such that the general does not hesitate to recommend, in the most urgent manner, all those who desire to send sanitary supplies, to confide them to the care of this Commission. They will thus insure the supplies reaching their destination without wastage or expense of agents or transportation, and their being distributed in a judicious manner, without disorder or interference with the regulations or usages of the service.
Pàgina 139 - Lutheran chants, till, in at the tent-door, close to which he lay, looked a rebel soldier, just arrived with other prisoners. He started when he saw the lieutenant, and quickly kneeling down by him, called ' Henry ! Henry! ' But Henry was looking at some one a great way off, and could not hear him. 'Do you know this soldier?' we said. ' Oh, yes, ma'am ; and his brother is wounded and a prisoner, too, in the cars now.
Pàgina 139 - It was so good—the best thing he had had since he was wounded;' and he thanked me so much, and talked about his 'good supper' for hours. Poor creature ! he had had no care, and it was a surprise and pleasure to find himself thought of; so, in a pleased, child-like way, he talked about it till midnight, the attendant told me, — as long as he spoke of anything; for at midnight the change came, and from that time he only thought of the old days before he was a soldier, when he sang hymns in his...
Pàgina 90 - White House; watching the fading out of what had been to us, through these strange weeks, a sort of home, where we had all worked together and been happy ; a place which is sacred to some of us now for its intense living remembrances, and for the hallowing of them all by the memory of one who, through months of death and darkness, lived and worked in self-abnegation ; lived in and for the...
Pàgina 7 - The present is essentially a people's war. The hearts and minds, the bodies and souls, of the whole people and of both sexes throughout the loyal States are in it.
Pàgina 105 - Several thousands lie in the open air upon straw, and all are receiving the kind services of the farmers' families and the surgeons. '•'I hope I never shall forget the evidences everywhere manifested of the unselfish and devoted heroism of our surgeons, regular and volunteer, in the care of both Federal and rebel wounded. Wherever I went, I encountered surgeons and chaplains who had given themselves no rest in view of the overwhelming claims of suffering humanity.
Pàgina 19 - It was directed, especially, to inquire into the principles and practices connected with the inspection of recruits and enlisted men ; the sanitary condition of the volunteers ; to the means of preserving and restoring the health and of securing the general comfort and efficiency of troops ; to the proper provision of cooks, nurses, and hospitals, and to other subjects of likS nature.
Pàgina 83 - Howland and I looked at him ! I did the terrible, and she the pathetic, — and he abandoned the contest. The return passage was rather an anxious one. The river is much obstructed with sunken ships and trees; the night was dark, and we had to feel our way, slackening speed every ten minutes.
