{"product_id":"9781570033865","title":"Confederate Nurse","description":"Although the Civil War was the first major American conflict in which women nurses played a significant role, the dearth of information about these women makes the diary of a Southern medical worker an especially important document. \u003ci\u003eA Confederate Nurse\u003c\/i\u003e records the daily experiences, hardships, and joys of Ada W. Bacot, a plantation owner and childless widow whose Southern patriotism prompted her to leave her native South Carolina to care for wounded Confederates in Charlottesville, Virginia. Bacot’s journal sheds light on her own experiences and also on the themes that dominated the lives of Southern white women throughout the nineteenth century. \u003ci\u003eA Confederate Nurse\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the Confederate nationalism that motivated some Southern women and the work these women performed to sustain the war effort.      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Jean V.
