Louisa May Alcott
As a writer, Louisa May Alcott first gained a national reputation during the Civil War.

This is the first complete collection of her stories based on the war and includes Hospital Sketches, a novel based on her experience as a nurse. The book compares it with excerpts from her actual wartime journals. The book features an introduction by Jan Turnquist, Director of the Orchard House.
