To Bind Up the Wounds by Mary Maher

To Bind Up the Wounds by Mary Maher

The contributions of more than six hundred Catholic nuns to the care of Confederate and Union sick and wounded made a critical impact upon nineteenth-century America. Not only did thousands of soldiers directly benefit from the religious sisters' ministrations, but both professional nursing and Catholics' acceptance within mainstream society advanced significantly as a result. In To Bind Up the Wounds, Sister Mary Denis Maher writes this heretofore neglected Civil War chapter in rich detail, telling a riveting story shot with suspicion and prejudice, suffering and self-sacrifice, ingenuity, beneficence, and gratitude.

Sister Mary Denis Maher, PhD, is a certified archivist and director of the archives for the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine, in Richfield, Ohio. A member of the Sisters of Charity, she is also professor emerita of English at Ursuline College.
