In preparing for our discussion tonight, I found this site which I thought you might enjoy perusing. It shows the Union Hotel Hospital, where Mary Sutter worked, as well as the REAL Louisa May Alcott!
Diary of a Civil War Nurse
Here are more sites which explain the various roles women took during the Civil War and makes me appreciate even more Robin Oliveira's ability to turn this dry prose into a fascinating story about someone who could have lived during this time period!
Women in Military Service: The Civil War
Nursing in the Civil War South
Mary Walker's Quest to be Appointed as a Union Doctor in the Civil War
Enjoy!
