Excerpt from A Report to the Secretary of War of the Operations of the Sanitary Commission, and Upon the Sanitary Condition of the Volunteer Army, Its Medical Staff, Hospitals, and Hospital Supplies: December, 1861 Situation of Camps - Camp sites have been generally selected for military reasons alone, and with little if any regard to sani tary considerations. The regimental surgeon has seldom been consulted on the subject. In many instances disease is directly traceable to this omission. One fourth the regiments were found encamped on sites which had previously been occupied by others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
