To Bind Up the Wounds: Catholic Sister Nurses in the U.S. Civil War Paperback - 1999
by Mary Denis Maher
From the rear cover
The contributions of more than six hundred Catholic nuns to the care of Confederate and Union sick and wounded made a critical impact upon nineteenth-century America. Not only did thousands of soldiers directly benefit from the religious sisters' ministrations, but both professional nursing and Catholics' acceptance within mainstream society advanced significantly as a result. In To Bind Up the Wounds, Sister Mary Denis Maher draws upon personal papers of individual sisters, archival material of the twelve orders that provided nurses, and official medical and military records to write this heretofore neglected Civil War chapter in rich detail. She tells a story of riveting interest, shot with suspicion and prejudice, suffering and self-sacrifice, ingenuity, beneficence, and gratitude.
