Abstract | Four diary volumes and a record of military hospital supplies of Harriet Eaton of Portland, Me. One diary volume covers the period 5 December 1853-27 May 1854; in it Eaton describes her sea voyage from Portland to Mobile, Ala., experiences in Mobile and environs, including a church service for slaves, and her return trip overland. The other diary volumes, 1862-1864, constitute a detailed record of Eaton's observations and feelings as a U.S. Army nurse visiting camps in Virginia, leaving supplies, and aiding the sick and wounded. The final volume is an undated record of hospital supplies distributed to many different Maine regiments. |
