EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia photo captures the Union Second Corps field hospital during the aftermath of the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863. The image, taken by Frederick Gutekunst, showcases a scene filled with tents and medical personnel attending to wounded soldiers. In the foreground, a lone woman stands amidst a group of soldiers and medical sewards. Notably, a civilian man wearing an intricately patterned light-colored frock coat can be seen standing fourth from the left of the woman. The hospital was situated on the Schwartz farm between July 5-23, serving as a crucial site for treating injured soldiers during this pivotal moment in American history. Adjacent to the tents are members from one of the civilian relief organizations known as the Christian Commission, along with civilian nurses providing aid alongside their military counterparts. This photograph offers insight into both the scale and organization required to manage such a large-scale medical operation during wartime. It serves as a testament to those who selflessly dedicated themselves to caring for wounded soldiers and highlights their significant contributions on behalf of their country. Preserved within Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York City, this historical artifact provides viewers with an opportunity to reflect upon America's past while honoring those who sacrificed so much during one of its most defining conflicts -the American Civil War.
