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
which reflect the level of expertise of Civil War medicine.
The books in the collection represent the publications as shown in the SGO
printed catalogues or those
selected by the U. S. Army Medical Department for distribution to the Union
Surgeons. It is a working collection of the medical textbooks used by the
surgeons who were educated before and 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 library catalogues for the basis of the collection.
Not all books available were selected by the military and there must have been a good reason for
selection or exclusion of various authors.

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.
