Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the United States Sanitary Commission, 1866: Being the General Report of Its Work During; Of the Rebellion The principal difficulty has been so to employ the riches found in this great storehouse as to illustrate fully the subject, without encumbering its discussion with details which would prove wearisome to the general reader. I have been kindly assisted in my work by several of my friends and colleagues, whose position as officers of the Commission rendered them specially qualified to treat of certain important portions of its history. Thus the chapter on "Contributions From California and the Pacific Coast" in this volume has been prepared by Rev. Dr. Bellows, President of the Commission; that on its "Financial System and History," by Mr. George T. Strong, its Treasurer; and that on the operations of its "Bureau of vital Statistics, by Dr. B. A. Gould, its Actuary. The object of the Commission in publishing an official Report of its work is two-fold. It feels that the share of those who contributed in any way to sustain it should be commemorated by a lasting memorial, and it is moved by an imperative sense of its duty to posterity, to place on record for its example and guidance an account of the practical working of the most successful method of mitigating the horrors of war known in history. With this design, and in this spirit, this volume has been prepared. It has been found impossible in a general history such as this, to do that full justice to individuals which gratitude, and a sense of the value of their services, would dictate.
