Hospital Transports: A memoir of the Embarkation of the Sick and Wounded from the Peninsula of Virginia in the Summer of 1862

During the Civil War in America, the wounded soldiers were transported home by the sea. Executive Secretary Frederick Law Olmsted created an account of these days in his memoirs.
