Nuns Of The Battlefield (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162989518)

""Nuns of the Battlefield"" is a historical book written by Ellen Ryan Jolly that explores the role of Catholic nuns during the American Civil War. The book delves into the lives of these women who left their convents to serve as nurses, chaplains, and even spies on the front lines of the war. Jolly recounts the stories of these brave women who risked their lives to care for wounded soldiers and provide spiritual guidance to both Union and Confederate troops. The book also includes images and illustrations of the nuns and the battlefields they served on, as well as a detailed timeline of the Civil War. ""Nuns of the Battlefield"" sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of the war and honors the contributions of these courageous women to American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
