This book captures the efforts of the United States Sanitary Commission during the American Civil War, which began operating in June 1861 and provided vital aid to wounded and sick soldiers.

As the war progressed, the commission expanded its activities to include the establishment of hospital gardens, hospital cars, and homes for convalescing soldiers. The commission also played a key role in improving sanitation and hygiene in army camps and hospitals, printing and distributing manuals on best practices for soldiers' health, and promoting fundraising efforts. The book provides a comprehensive account of the commission's work and its impact on the lives of thousands of soldiers during the Civil War.
