No question this is Louisa May Alcott
These are dispatches home from Jo -- no doubt about who could have written these. They are interesting in the sense of a young person's first impressions of illness, injury, death, and war.

Civil War Hospital Sketches,
By Renee Lamb "LAS" (Columbus, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

This book was short and gave some insight, but was a little disappointing since I had just finished reading Civil War Nurse: The Diary and Letters of Hannah Ropes. Both Louisa May Alcott and Hannah Ropes were assigned to the same hospital. Hannah Ropes' book is more in depth with the day-to-day details and her feelings than Hospital Sketches. Louisa May Alcott's book makes you think it was written specifically for a certain reading audience in mind and was found lacking in some respects.

These are dispatches home from Jo -- no doubt about who could have written these.
They are interesting in the sense of a young person's first impressions of illness, injury, death, and war. Not to mention, life in the south through the eyes of a Bostoner. Very few letters -- she didn't last long before a fever got her -- but very interesting. The gentlemanly behavior described, the ladylike behavior -- all of it in Jo's style of writing. Great! |
