A Season with the Army: Civil War Nurse Harriet Eaton

Join Jane Schultz, the nation’s expert on Civil War nursing, for a
discussion of a New England woman’s critical role on the battlefields of
Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville. Newton-born Harriet
Eaton’s diary and papers offer insight into the experience of the
twenty-one thousand women who served in Union military hospitals.
Schultz will be available after the talk to sign her This Birth Place of Souls: The Civil War Nursing Diary of Harriet Eaton.
We mark the 150th anniversary of the Civil War with this lecture
series, made possible through the generous support of the Ruby W. and
LaVon P. Linn Foundation.
