Anna Morris Holstein (née, Ellis; pen name, Mrs. H.; April 9, 1824 - December 31, 1900) was an American organizational leader, civil war nurse, and author. From 1862 until the close of the Civil War, Holstein was engaged in the hospital service, and after the Battle of Gettysburg, she was matron-in-chief of a hospital in which 3,000 seriously wounded men were looked after. She was the founder and first regent of the Centennial and Memorial Association of Valley Forge, and a regent of the Valley Forge Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.). It was largely through her influence that George Washington's headquarters at Valley Forge were purchased, restored and made accessible to the people. The preservation of Washington's home at Mount Vernon was accomplished largely through her efforts, Holstein and her husband being among the first promoters of this project.

An important eye-witness account of northern hospitals during the Civil War. Anna Morris Holstein and her husband William H. Holstein enlisted with the U.S. Sanitation Commission following William's service in the Pennsylvania militia during Leeâs 1862 invasion. After witnessing the carnage at Antietam, the wealthy couple felt called to serve their country, as Anna noted, âwe have no right to the comforts of our home, while so many of the noblest of our land renounce theirs.â Anna struggled with the grisly realities of war and later admitted that she was frequently of little use until she could gain control of her composure and stop crying. Following the war, publisher J.B. Lippincott capitalized on the hunger for war stories, first with Hospital Sketches, then less successfully with Notes of Hospital Life (1864).…
