Hospital Transports: A Memoir Of The Embarkation Of The Sick And Wounded From The Peninsula Of Virginia In The Summer Of 1862 (1863) is a memoir written by Frederick Law Olmsted. The book is a first-hand account of the transportation of sick and wounded soldiers from the Peninsula of Virginia during the summer of 1862, during the American Civil War. Olmsted was a journalist who worked for the United States Sanitary Commission, a government agency that provided medical care and supplies to soldiers during the war. In this book, he describes the conditions on the hospital ships and the difficulties faced by the doctors and nurses who cared for the sick and wounded soldiers. He also provides a detailed account of the logistical challenges involved in transporting large numbers of patients by ship, including the need for adequate medical supplies, food, and shelter. Hospital Transports is an important historical document that sheds light on the experiences of soldiers and medical personnel during the Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old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.
