Sinopsis
Excerpt from Our Branch and Its Tributaries: Being a History of the Work of the Northwestern Sanitary Commission and Its Auxiliaries, During the War of the Rebellion
It is a pleasing duty to recognize gratefully the generous confidence at all times extended to the Commission, and the large contributions entrusted to it by the noble organization in aid of the Commission having its headquarters at Milwaukee and its ramifications through a large portion of the State of Wisconsin; and also to a similar organization in the State of Iowa, Operating through the Aid Societies in the various cities and large towns of that State. To several of the cities and large towns in the State of Michigan, and to a few in the State of Indiana the Commission was constantly indebted for some of its largest and most timely contributions. At several times the Commission came under oblig..tion to the chief executives of the States of Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan, for much Of kind consideration and favor, and it counts as one of the fortunate incidents in its history that it was enabled at various times to be Of more or less service to each Of those States in their efforts to bring aid to their sick and wounded volunteers in the army, and in returning such to their homes. To no one individual, however, does the Commission, and through it all who in any wise contributed to it, owe a more lasting debt Of gratitude than to Wm. H. Osborne, Esq., the widely known and popular president of the Illinois Central railroad. TO his constant friendship, wise suggestions, and practical aid at all times extended to the Commission, the ability to accomplish its work promptly, inexpensively, and efficiently, is largely due. For hearty sympathy and liberal contributions volunteered to the Commission in its earlier and more necessitous stages, it owes grateful acknowledgements to the large hearted, large minded, and accomplished Secretary of the Ladies' Aid Society in Hartford, Connecticut, Mrs. Sidney I. Cowen.

Excerpt from Our Branch and Its Tributaries: Being a History of the Work of the Northwestern Sanitary Commission and Its Auxiliaries, During the War of the Rebellion
The appalling scenes of the Rebellion, go terribly present and real bot the other day, are already becoming shadowed and irie-hued, as seen through the media of three years of hopes and anxieties, harrassments and encouragements, consequent upon the reconstruction of all private as well as all public interests. Already, too, the languor and weariness consequent upon high and protracted excitement, is passing away, and the apathy-almost antipathy - with which for a time the fatigued public looked upon every attempted recital of the calamitous incidents hardly yet escaped from, is yielding, to an awakening interest born of the refreshment arising from repose. The actors in the actual conflict, recovered from exhaustion, are beginning to winnow, from the limitless abundance of the war literature, such portions as relate to the scenes in which they bore part, and to read them with a critical and careful Interest. Those, too, who, though removed from personal danger, in remote and desolate homes, agonized over the peril of fathers, husbands, brothers, sods, gone to the field, and in numberless instances out of deep poverty, hot with exulting self-sacrifice, contributed and sent to the far-away camp all those necessaries as well as delicacies so precious and priceless to the soldier in service, are also beginning to feel that a full and Just account of the outside effort made by the people at large, in the dreary conflict, should, in justice to the cause of truth and for the interests of history, be placed permanently on record.
History accords her high places to the battle field. Hardly secondary, however, is the position which righteously belongs to the record of the Individual preparation, effort and sacrifice which, though remote from the field of action, anticipates and assures victory in the conflict.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the efforts of the Northwestern Sanitary Commission (NWSC) from its inception in 1861 to its dissolution in 1865. The NWSC was a volunteer organization that provided medical supplies, clothing, and other necessities to Union soldiers during the Civil War. The book provides a comprehensive history of the NWSC's work, from its humble beginnings to its eventual recognition as a vital part of the Union war effort. The author draws on a wealth of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and newspapers, to tell the story of the NWSC's volunteers, who worked tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of soldiers in the field. The book also explores the broader context of the Civil War, discussing the social, political, and economic forces that led to the conflict. The author argues that the NWSC played a significant role in shaping the war's outcome, by providing essential support to Union troops and helping to maintain morale on the home front. Ultimately, this book offers a fascinating and important account of the NWSC's role in the Civil War, and sheds new light on the experiences of both soldiers and civilians during this tumultuous period in American history.
