Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sanitary Commission of the United States Army: A Succinct Narrative of Its Works and Purposes The United States Sanitary Commission may safely leave its history to be written in the Annals of the War. In that history, however, the public has an interest which calls for the occasional publication of such records of the work in progress, and such a description of its methods, purposes, and results, as shall correctly set forth the practical features of this great system of supplementary aid. This volume has been prepared with the design of meeting the demand for a succinct narrative of the origin, purposes, progress, and present condition of the Commission´s methods and departments of labor. Connected outlines, together with reviews and condensed abstracts of current reports, are made to bring forward a concise record of the work, from the period of its inception to the present time. The faithfulness of the narrative has been verified at every step, by one who has attentively observed the Commission´s plans and labors from the beginning, and his object will be fully attained if the book conveys to the reader´s mind a truthful and connected view of the whole scheme - past and present - of the objects, spirit, and practical operations of the Commission. A French military writer has recently said, "It is one of the greatest characteristics of the present age, that the cause of humanity has become identified with the strength of armies" And, in this view, with a knowledge of our campaigns and battles, and with the records of the Sanitary Commission before us, it would be difficult to say whether this grand system of sanitary care and succor in the Federal army is more important as a work of humane benificence than as a patriotic scheme of aid to the effective strength of our military forces.
