Excerpt from The Atlantic Monthly, Vol. 18It is unnecessary to detail the events by which, finally, I found myself in one of the Rebel hospitals near Atlanta. Here, for the first time, my wounds were properly cleansed and dressed by a Dr. Oliver Wilson, who treated me throughout with great kindness. I told him I had been a doctor, which, perhaps, may have been in part the cause of the unusual tenderness with which I was managed. The left arm was now quite easy, although, as will be seen, it never entirely healed. The right arm was worse than ever, the humerus broken, the nerves wounded, and the hand only alive to pain. I use this phrase because it is connected in my mind with a visit from a local visitor, I am not sure he was a preacher, who used to go daily through the wards, and talk to us, or write our letters. One morning he stopped at my bed, when this little talk occurred.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
