معلومات عن هذه الحلقة
This episode of The Wabash Inn Mess features hosts Wade Gish and Norris Darrell in conversation with Carolyn Ivanoff, whose research focuses on firsthand Civil War accounts. Carolyn discusses two of her books, We Fought at Gettysburg and Cornelia Hancock’s Civil War, and explains how she uses letters, manuscripts, and local archival material to reconstruct the experiences of soldiers and a Civil War nurse. The conversation moves from battlefield tactics and leadership failures to the wartime and postwar life of Cornelia Hancock, a Quaker reformer who served in major hospitals from Gettysburg to Petersburg and later devoted herself to education and social work. The episode is especially useful for listeners interested in Gettysburg, Army of the Potomac medical history, and history written from the perspective of the people who lived it.
You'll find Carolyn's books on the 17th Connecticut VI and Cornelia Hancock's experiences at:
