Field and temporary hospitals: the surgeon in the field

Deering J. Roberts, M. D.,, Surgeon, Confederate States Army

Prayer with the wounded after Spotsylvania The photographer of May, 1864, preserved a moment breathing the devout spirit of Millets ‘Angelus.’ the Surgeon's assistants, heads bared, and the nurse stand in reverent attitudes; the wounded lie listening on the ground; while a chaplain pours out a prayer to the Almighty that the lives of the stricken soldiers before him may be spared.
