Hospital Sketches (Esprios Classics) -- Louisa May Alcott

<p>Hospital Sketches (1863) is a compilation of four sketches based on letters Louisa May Alcott sent home during the six weeks she spent as a volunteer nurse for the Union Army during the American Civil War in Georgetown. Tribulation Periwinkle opens the story by complaining, "I want something to do." She dismisses suggestions to write a book, teach, get married, or start acting. When her younger brother suggests she "go nurse the soldiers", she immediately responds, "I will!" After substantial hardship in trying to obtain a spot, she has further difficulty finding a place on the train. She then describes her travel through New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore en route to Washington DC.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Louisa May Alcott<br><b>Publisher:</b> Blurb<br><b>Published:</b> 09/21/2022<br><b>Pages:</b> 84<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.30lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.20d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9798211976443
