Transportation to the Hospital: A Memoir of the Evacuation of the Sick and Wounded from the Virginia Peninsula in the Summer of 1862 is a moving book written by Frederick Law Olmsted that chronicles a dramatic period in American history. The author tells in detail about the difficult trials faced by hospitals during the transportation of the wounded and sick during the Civil War. Olmsted manages to put into words the importance of a humane attitude to the wounded and to give the reader the opportunity to get to know in depth the suffering of those who find themselves at the center of military events. This book is not only a document of history, but also a powerful testimony to the power of human will and compassion."
