Hospital Transports is a compilation of letters and other papers written by physicians and nurses serving aboard the Union hospital steamboat Daniel Webster in the summer of 1862. The text details sleeping arrangements, cooking and feeding schedules, medical practices, and the incorporation of liberated slaves from the Lee plantation into the daily work of the ship. Clearly described are the emotional, visceral reactions of the corps of medical personnel who, as their ship makes its way along the Potomac picking up casualties, question the philosophies at the root of war, and the metaphysical questions concerning the definitions of life and death. 606 $aHospital ships$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aHospital ships$zVirginia$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aTransports$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aTransports$zVirginia$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMedical personnel$zUnited States$vCorrespondence 606 $aPeninsular Campaign, Va., 1862 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865$xHospitals 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865$xMedical care 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865$vPersonal narratives 615 0$aHospital ships$xHistory 615 0$aHospital ships$xHistory 615 0$aTransports$xHistory 615 0$aTransports$xHistory 615 0$aMedical personnel 615 0$aPeninsular Campaign, Va., 1862. 676 $a973.7/76 701 $aOlmsted$b Frederick Law$f1822-1903.$0275526 701 $aBehling$b Laura L.$f1967-$01654214 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964038503321 996 $aHospital transports$94365210 997 $aUNINA
