“Jim Gindlesperger has taken the early studies of significant field hospitals in and around the Gettysburg battlefield, an often overlooked story of the farms and homes where so many worked so hard to save the wounded and the dying, and provided the reader with a more complete understanding of the complex story of the aftermath of the Battle of Gettysburg.” —John S. Heiser, Historian, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania“Jim Gindlesperger has built on Greg Coco’s classic publication “A Vast Sea of Misery” concerning this fascinating subject. This new look at medical care during and after the Battle of Gettysburg is very comprehensive and will serve as a ready resource on this often overlooked chapter of the battle. An extensive listing of civilian hospital sites and farm division field hospitals is included. Maps locate hospital sites in detail. Information is presented throughout the book concerning both medical personnel and the civilians’ role in the days and weeks during and after the conflict. This book is both an excellent reference and a valuable tool for further study on this topic.” —Richard D. Schroeder, M.D. FAAOS, Orthopedic Trauma Surgeon, Licensed Battlefield Guide #166-Gettysburg“Jim Gindlesperger's book, Bullets and Bandages, expands past works and adds another layer to the story of the soldiers who fought here, the families that were impacted, and their lives that would never be the same.” —Francis P. Feyock, CRNA, MSL, Licensed Battlefield Guide #104– Gettysburg“Bullets & Bandages is a great resource to add to your Gettysburg library. Jim Gindlesperger's latest book highlights the important work of nursing the wounded in the weeks and months following the Battle of Gettysburg. In addition to detailing the trials of the soldiers who were wounded, this book also brings the often untold story of the civilian aid offered to those soldiers to light. Used as either a study guide or field guide, it is a must have for any Gettysburg aficionado.” —Lisa Shower, Licensed Town Guide, Gettysburg, Research Assistant @ Adams County Historical Society
