In Hospital Sketches, American author Louisa May Alcott recounts her experience as a volunteer nurse for the Union, the abolitionist side in the American Civil War. This narrative originates from letters sent by Alcott to her family, later published in the magazine Boston Commonwealth and edited as a book in 1863. This is the first translation of one of the entries in the diary of Tribulation Periwinkle, pseudonym assumed by the author in her tales as a nurse in a field hospital during the war.
