Julia Wheelock, originally from Ionia, Michigan, initially went to Washington to care for her wounded brother who had been in Co. K, 8th Michigan Inf.; however, he died from his wounds received at Chantilly before her arrival. Preface: "I resolved to remain and endeavor, God being my helper, to do for others as I fain would have done for my dear brother". In Washington she worked in the area's hospitals from September 1862 to July 1865 as a nurse, working with the Michigan Soldiers Relief Association. She recorded her thoughts each evening and this diary served as the basis of this excellent first-person narrative. REFERENCE: NEVINS I-91: One of the better, straightforward accounts of life in Federal hospitals; Miss Wheelock was stationed throughout the last three years of the war at Alexandria, Va.

Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Duodecimo. A beautiful 1st edition, 1st-Hand Civil War Medical account from the 'Florence Nightingale of Michigan'. "One of the better, straightforward accounts of life in Federal hospitals; Miss Wheelock was stationed through the last three years of the war at Alexandria, Va." - Nevins, I-91 "In September 1861, Julia's brother, Orville, enlisted in the Eighth Michigan Infantry. His unit fought in the Battle of Chantilly in September 1862. On September 10, 1862, Julia received word of her brother's condition. She left her teaching job in Ionia, Michigan to be at his bedside. "Julia started a diary that day and wrote: At 1/2 past 8 o'clock Tinie Stone called and wished to see me: I went to the door, when she informed me that brother Orville was seriously wounded the first day of Sept. in the battle near Centreville, that he lay several days on the field, had his left limb amputated - but was finally taken to a hospital in Alexandria, Va. "During her search for Orville, she had met Elmina Brainard, a young Michigan woman who had volunteered to nurse the wounded. By the end of September, both women had been appointed visiting agents for the Michigan Soldier's Relief Association. "The purpose of this organization was to provide food, clothing and other supplies to Michigan soldiers. Julia assisted the nurses, fed the soldiers, wrote letters home for those unable to do so for themselves and comforted the dying, with an emphasis on those from Michigan." - womenhistoryblog vii, [3], 9 - 274 pp. Frontispiece portrait of Wheelock. Burgundy Cloth. Titling and illustration in gilt. Square tight binding. Clean interior. Mild rubbing and edge wear. An exceptional account of Civil War medicine from a woman's perspective.
