"The Boys in White" by Julia S. Wheelock is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This narrative recounts the experiences of a hospital agent during the American Civil War, particularly focusing on her time in and around Washington, D.C. The author provides a personal glimpse into the trials faced by soldiers and the compassionate efforts made by those who cared for them, including her own heartfelt dedication to the cause after the death of her brother. The opening of the book introduces Wheelock's motivations for her work as she travels to Washington to care for her wounded brother, Orville, and soon finds herself immersed in the harrowing realities of hospital life during war. As she recounts her journey, she reflects on the emotional struggles, the grief of losing loved ones, and her resolve to help other soldiers in their time of need. The early chapters are filled with vivid descriptions of her experiences in hospitals and encounters with soldiers, illustrating both the physical and emotional toll of war, while also highlighting the camaraderie and dignity found among those who sacrifice for their country.
