Index of Civil War Era Medical Books in Echols'
Collection
Organized by page number
This Civil War medical book collection
is based on the actual medical books listed as being in the Surgeon
General's Office Library 1840, 1864 & 1865 Catalogues.
The books in the collection represent the publications as shown in the SGO Catalogues or those
selected by the U. S. Army Medical Department for distribution to the Union
Surgeon's. It is a working collection of the medical textbooks used by the
surgeons who operated during the Civil War. If the Surgeon General and
his staff thought the book was important and valid, that is part of the
attraction to using the catalogues for the basis of the collection.
Not all books were selected and there must have been a good reason for
selection or exclusion of various authors.
All Civil War
era (1840-1865)
medical textbooks are wanted to buy for this collection
Especially wanted: Pre-1865

It's all inter-related
on this site: medical schools sold lecture cards, lecturers who
were authors wrote books used at the medical schools, the
surgeons who attended the medical colleges fought in the Civil
War, surgeons joined the Army, the Army bought surgical sets for
the surgeon's use, and round and round it goes.
