Confederate Hospitals on the Move

"Thoroughly researched, impressively documented, forcefully argued, and convincingly written. Schroeder-Lein is to be commended for rescuing Stout from relative anonymity and for shedding important light on Confederate medicine in the less well known western theater."—Journal of American History

"An appreciative assessment of how southern doctors orchestrated soldier care, often despite recalcitrant quartermasters, railroad officials, Union Army raids, and unappreciative wounded."—Choice

"This well-researched and ably-written study addresses an important but largely neglected subject. Even serious students of the Civil War should find bountiful new material that will help to illuminate the full story of medical care in the Confederate military as well as the history of the army that protected the vast midsection of the Confederacy between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River."—Gary W. Gallagher, editor of Fighting for the Confederacy: The Personal Recollections of General Edward Porter Alexander

"Glenna Schroeder-Lein is a super-sleuth and Confederate Hospitals on the Move is superior scholarship. Stout's story is a fascinating blend of human drama, medical melodrama, and social saga. . . . An important book and a tour de force in research."—Emory M. Thomas, author of The Confederacy as a Revolutionary Experience
