Alcott draws on her experience nursing wounded soldiers in Washington during the American Civil War. Through the voice of Tribulation Periwinkle, she describes the journey to the hospital, the work of caring for patients, and the people she encounters.
Humor, exhaustion, and compassion sit close together in these sketches. The account gives particular attention to everyday hospital routines and the individual stories of the men being treated.
