The focus falls on the injuries sustained by participants and on their medical treatment. Writers and poets are included who drew on their experiences as nurses, combatants or observers. The volume focuses thematically on nursing, medical facilities, photography, amputations, battlefield accounts, and the war's aftermath. The excerpts are supplemented by critical studies by specialists in the different aspects of the Civil War. Each excerpt is introduced by brief editorial commentaries, guiding the reader towards further related material and an overall introduction to the volume addresses the blurring between private and public documents as well as the different methods of recording these events. 410 0$aLiverpool scholarship online. 606 $aCivil war$xHistory$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCivil war$xHistory 676 $a303.64 702 $aSeed$b David 702 $aKenny$b Stephen C. 702 $aWilliams$b Chris 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910159442003321 996 $aLife and limb$92127252 997 $aUNINA
