Sinopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of Military Surgery, for the Use of Surgeons in the Confederate Army: With an Appendix of the Rules and Regulations of the Medical Department of the Confederate Army
As the strength of an army depends more upon the health and physical development of the soldier than in mere nunibers, the hygiene of camps and the susceptibility of soldiers to disease, has long been a worthy study for mili tary leaders. When men are taken from civil life, where they are accustomed to think and act for themselves, and are gathered together as sol diers, the very act of acknowledgment or mus tering in, deprives them of all liberty of action, and makes them dependent upon their superior officers. They must now live after a formula With its drills, labors, fatigues, privations, expos ures, guard duties, night watchings and rigid discipline. This new life, which is so.difi'erent from his former habits, establishes a new era.

Excerpt from A Manual of Military Surgery, for the Use of Surgeons in the Confederate Army: With an Appendix of the Rules and Regulations of the Medical Department of the Confederate Army
In putting forth this Manual of Military Surgery for the use of surgeons in the Confederate service, I have been led by the desire to mitigate, if possible, the horrors of war as seen in its most frightful phase in military hospitals. As our entire army is made up of volunteers from every walk of life, so we find the surgical staff of the army composed of physicians without surgical experience. Most of those who now compose the surgical staff were general practitioners, whose country circuit gave them but little surgery, and very seldom presented a gunshot wound. Moreover, as our country had been enjoying an uninterrupted state of peace, the collecting of large bodies of men, and retaining them in health, or the hygiene of armies had been a study without an object, and therefore without interest. When the war suddenly broke upon us, followed immediately by the blockading of our ports, all communication was out off with Europe, which was the expected source of our surgical information. As there had been no previous demand for works on military surgery, there were none to be had in the stores, and our physicians were compelled to follow the army to battle without instruction. No work on military surgery could be purchased in the Confederate States. As military surgery, which is one of expediency, differs so much from civil practice, the want of proper information has already made itself seriously felt.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a practical guide to military surgery, specifically aimed at surgeons serving in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. Written against the backdrop of a sudden and unexpected conflict, the book addresses the unique challenges faced by medical professionals during wartime, especially those lacking prior surgical experience. The author draws heavily on the experience of European armies, particularly from the Crimean War, to provide detailed insights into the treatment of wounds, including gunshot wounds, fractures, and injuries to various parts of the body. The book extends beyond surgical techniques to encompass topics such as hygiene, nutrition, and the overall health of troops. Through a combination of firsthand observations and insights gleaned from European military manuals, the author emphasizes the importance of proper sanitation and preventative measures in maintaining an effective fighting force. By acknowledging the specific circumstances of the Confederacy's struggle, the book reveals the critical need for practical, readily available knowledge to preserve the lives of soldiers and minimize the horrors of war. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330320976_0
