Songs and Stories of a Civil War Hospital
Songs and Stories of a Civil War Hospital brings to life the true stories of wounded soldiers and the doctors and nurses who worked valiantly to save lives — both Union and Confederate — during the Battle of Gettysburg and the following weeks. The experiences of the wounded and their caregivers are presented through poignant readings from soldiers’ journals and the diary of a citizen-nurse who served in this church hospital, through live Civil War era music, especially the Civil War songs of Stephen Foster, and through the poetry of Walt Whitman who served as a Civil War nurse for three years. Songs and Stories also includes passages from President Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address.
