Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Hospital and Camp T is now more than a decade of years since the close of that great conflict which, beyond anything else in the history of our country, tested our national char acter, and by its results gave us a right to call this land a land of freedom. When we say that it was a stupen dous struggle, which gave to every man, woman, and child in the country something to do and something to suffer, calling on each to renounce some pleasure and take up some burden, to surrender the present, the personal, tangible good for advantages that were general and to some extent ideal, our words do but faintly set forth the reality. The call was imperative, the stake nothing less than our national life, and the response equal to the grandeur of the crisis. Everywhere throughout the loyal States was set up the altar of sacrifice, and everywhere was that sacred altar glorified by gifts of what we held most pre cious.
