- Summary
- "In 1862, Daniel Martin was living in Pittsburgh with his young family when he volunteered to serve as hospital steward for the 2nd Virginia. His letters and diary speak of financial hardships, secessionists, medicine, diseases, generals, patriotism, the deaths of his two brothers, battles, politics, slavery, religion, and family squabbles. While there have been collections of Civil War letters previously published, few are from hospital stewards. With detailed descriptions of diseases and 19th century medical theories, these letters are presented in the context of American Civil War medicine and the political and social venues of southwestern Pennsylvania"--P.
