Holstein is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the author's experiences as a nurse in various field hospitals during the American Civil War, focusing on the care provided to wounded soldiers. It presents a vivid portrayal of the suffering endured by soldiers and the compassion shown by nurses and volunteers under dire circumstances. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on the outbreak of the Civil War and her initial hesitations about becoming involved in nursing the wounded. However, after witnessing the desperation of soldiers in need of help, she is compelled to participate in relief efforts. Holstein describes the formation of Soldiers' Aid Societies and her own journey into hospital care, detailing the gruesome realities faced by soldiers after battles like Antietam and Gettysburg. The opening emphasizes her commitment and gradual acclimatization to the harsh conditions, providing a personal lens through which the reader can comprehend the emotional and physical toll of wartime medical care.
