Review # 1 was written on 2018-03-31 00:00:00 Birgitta Granberg Southern Grace The strength that it took for Yates to do what she did for hundreds of men during the years of the Civil War is astounding. Faced with the insurmountable task of caring for so many, often with so little, she did so with the grace and kindheartedness of a saint. Her story takes you into the heart of the sick and wounded men of the war that pitted brother against brother, telling her story of the many men who could not as their voice was silenced much to early.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-11-19 00:00:00 Cipta Hardi Phoebe Yates Pember was a South Carolina native who came to Richmond, VA in 1862 to become a matron of one of the Civil War hospitals. This book is a brief memoir of her experiences in it. She share antidotes of the men, the strife of running the hospital and other stories of the Confederacy, including the fall of the Southern Capitol. While the memoir is short and moves around a lot, it does give the reader snippets of what life was like at this time - and what it would be reduced to by the war's end. Recommend to Civil War fans. This is a must read for every student of the Civil War.
