Heroines of Mercy Street By Pamela D. Toler

Heroines of Mercy Street by Pamela D. Toler, sheds light on the remarkable lives of real nurses during the Civil War. These courageous women worked at Mansion House, a wartime hospital in Alexandria, Virginia, which serves as the setting for the PBS drama Mercy Street. The Civil War era was marked by immense hardship, and the nurses played a pivotal role in shaping medicine during this tumultuous time.

Among the hospital’s visitors were Union soldiers, doctors, wounded men from both sides, freed slaves, politicians, speculators, and spies. Pamela D. Toler’s work honors these unsung heroines, revealing their resilience, compassion, and impact on history.
