Angels of the Battlefield (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book recounts the often overlooked story of Catholic Sisterhoods during the American Civil War. While countless books chronicle the efforts of women in the conflict, the self-sacrificing labors of these Sisterhoods have largely remained undocumented. The author, through personal interviews, archival research, and extensive correspondence, sheds light on these Sisters' remarkable contributions to the war effort. The book offers a glimpse into the day-to-day work of these women, from providing comfort and care to wounded soldiers in makeshift hospitals to navigating the treacherous landscapes of war-torn territories. The author also highlights the challenges faced by the Sisters, including shortages of supplies, the harsh realities of battlefield medicine, and the inherent dangers of wartime travel. The book delves into the profound dedication and unwavering commitment of these women who, motivated by faith and compassion, risked their own well-being to ease the suffering of those caught in the throes of war. It underscores the extraordinary role these Sisters played in alleviating human suffering during a time of immense hardship and reminds us of the power of empathy and selfless service in the face of adversity.
