Note: Part of the rarity factor for these Civil War books is the fact they were chosen by the U.S. Army Medical Dept. for inclusion in the Surgeon General's Library for use by Army Surgeons during the Civil War.  Not all were marked as having been distributed to the Army Hospital Dept. staff, but the books were selected by the U. S. Army Medical Dept. staff for their value to the surgeons at the time of the War and listed in the Surgeon General's Office Library Catalogue
