Before she wrote what was to become a classic of all ages, Little Women, Louisa May Alcott worked as a volunteer nurse in an army hospital during the Civil War.

Written during the winter of 1862–63, her active and heartfelt accounts appeared in the newspaper Commonwealth where the friends and families of soldiers read them as a way to get a glimpse of the horrible realities of battlefield medicine. LMA’s Hospital Sketches also provides a window into some of the early roles of women in the military.

Writing under a pseudonym, Alcott recounted the vagaries of her two-day journey from her home in Concord, Massachusetts, to Washington, D.C. These chronicles provide a raw and truthful perspective look into an overlooked aspect of the Civil War.
