Nuns Of The Battlefield (Paperback)

""Nuns of the Battlefield"" is a historical book written by Ellen Ryan Jolly. The book tells the story of the Catholic nuns who served as nurses during the American Civil War. These nuns were from various religious orders and were not trained medical professionals, but they still played a crucial role in caring for the wounded soldiers. The book highlights the bravery and selflessness of these women who risked their lives to care for others. It also provides insights into the challenges they faced and the impact they had on the war effort. The book is a tribute to these heroic women who have often been overlooked in the history of the Civil War. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of nursing, women's roles in the military, and the Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
