Hospital Sketches by Louisa May Alcott
A young New England woman volunteers as a nurse during the Civil War and records vivid, humane sketches of hospital life—tending to wounded soldiers, improvising care amid shortages, and finding moments of humor, courage, and compassion amid the suffering. Through candid, often wry episodes she captures the daily routines, friendships, moral growth, and the emotional toll of war, offering a personal, eyewitness view of the resilience and humanity of both caregivers and patients.
