Summary note
The author hopes his work will not only help to illuminate certain aspects of the Civil War, and the medical sciences of that period, but will also extend public understanding of continuing problems of military medicine. The Civil War saw the beginnings of ambulance field work, the Army Nurse Corps and other organizations and practices now taken for granted. It highlighted such vexed questions as the proper relationship of line officers to medical officers, and of Regulars to "Reserves. An understanding of the origins of such questions may contribute to sane solutions in the days ahead. -- Preface
