In 1864, at the peak of his career, Samuel Hollingsworth Stout managed more than sixty medical facilities scattered from Montgomery, Alabama to Augusta, Georgia. Glenn R. Schroeder-Lein reveals how this doctor-turned-talented-administrator established and oversaw some of the most adaptable, efficient, and well-administered hospitals in the Confederacy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough Stout's eyes Schroeder-Lein describes the selection of hospital sites, the care and feeding of patients, the provisioning of the hospitals, and the personnel who cared for the sick and wounded. She also discusses the movement of the hospitals and how the facilities were affected by overcrowding, supply shortages, and the scarcity of transportation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing the 1,500 pounds of hospital records that Stout saved during his tenure as medical director of the Army of Tennessee, Schroeder-Lein demonstrates that Stout was a rarity both in his competence as an administrator and in his penchant for saving wartime documents. She traces Stout's prewar years, his ascension to directorship of the hospitals, his success in administering the facilities, and his failure to find a niche for his talents in a civilian setting after the war's end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first study of a Confederate army hospital system from the vantage point of a medical director, \u003ci\u003eConfederate Hospitals on the Move\u003c\/i\u003e offers new information on the difficulties facing Confederate hospitals on the Western front as opposed to the more stable, protected hospitals in the East. In addition, the book supplements previous research on the care of the wounded and on medical practices during the Civil War period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glenna R.
