Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report on the Operations of the Sanitary Commission During and After the Battles at Gettysburg: July 1st, 2d and 3d, 1863 F. Law Olmstead, Esq., General Secretary, Sanitary Commission : Sir, - When the Army of the Potomac broke camp at Falmouth, to commence the campaign which terminated in the battle of Grettysburg, the operations of the Commission in connection with this army again assumed a most active and laborious character. The evacuation of Aquia, necessitated the withdrawal of its large stock of stores, accumulated at that place and at Falmouth; and the instantaneous removal of the thousands of sick and wounded from the Corps Hospital at Potomac Creek, called for an unusual amount of labor from its Relief Corps. I have already reported, in a communication to the Executive Committee, dated June 17, that all our stores had been safely removed to this city from Aquia, by means of our transport the steamer Elizabeth, and that we had furnished substantial food to over 8,000 sick and wounded soldiers, at Lodge No. 5 of the Commission, situated at Sixth Street Wharf, where all of the transports brought the inmates of the Corps Hospitals on their way to the General Hospitals of this District. This work of transportation began Saturday, June 13, and continued unceasingly until Monday night, the 15. Coffee, bread, hot beef soup, lemonade, were provided in quantities to meet the demands of all, and on the arrival of the boats, each invalid was questioned as to his wants, and his wishes complied with. The continuous labor of these two days severely taxed the strength of those engaged in it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
