TO THE
ARMY NURSES OF OUR RECENT CIVIL WAR,
WHO WALKED AS ANGELS OF MERCY ON MANY
BATTLE-FIELDS, AND MINISTERED TO
THE SICK, WOUNDED, AND DYING, IN LOATHSOME,
OVER-CROWDED HOSPITALS;
AND TO THE
NOBLE WOMEN OF IOWA
WHO SO GENEROUSLY SUSTAINED ME IN MY ARMY WORK;
AND TO THE
PATRIOTIC WOMEN OF AMERICA
WHO SENT THEIR HUSBANDS, BROTHERS, AND SONS TO
THE DEFENCE OF THEIR COUNTRY WITH A
DEVOTION AND COURAGE
EQUAL TO THAT OF ANY GRECIAN MOTHER OR ROMAN MATRON,
THIS VOLUME
IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BY THE
AUTHOR.
