Here is the first comprehensive examination of pharmaceutical practice and drug provision during the Civil War. In this painstakingly researched yet highly readable book, Michael A. Flannery, co-author of the critically acclaimed America"™s Botanico-Medical Movements: Vox Populi, examines the drugs that were used, who provided and prepared them, and how they were supplied by both the Union and the Confederacy during the Civil War. Appendices cover items from that era"™s Standard Supply Table to a Materia Medica for the South to common prescriptions and basic syrups. This is a book that no one with an interest in Civil War history or pharmacy history should be without!
