Synopsis
Excerpt from A Report on a Plan for Transporting Wounded Soldiers by Railway in Time of War: With Descriptions of Various Methods Employed for This Purpose on Different Occasions
While it is held by some military surgeons that certain of the severely wounded, as those with penetrating wounds of the great cavities, and of the large joints, and with shot fractures of the femur, should be regarded, with their attendants, as neutrals, and treated as near as practicable to the spot where they fall, yet no one questions the advantages of speedy removal, or, as the French say, evacuation, of the great bulk of sick and wounded from the theatre of hostilities.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book by a U.S. Army surgeon, explores a range of methods proposed in the mid-19th century to transport wounded soldiers via railway during wartime.
