[It] brings to light much hitherto unrevealed information about the activities of those who carried on what might be called a counter~rebellion during the War between the States.".~ New York Times Book Review / "Though 600,000 men out of a population of 8,000,000 whites offered their services to the Confederacy in the first year of the Civil War, before its close disaffection and active disloyalty in every Confederate state had seriously weakened the Southern cause. The reasons for this disaffection were many: loyalty to the Union and apathy toward secession, the resentment of poor whites at being drafted to fight 'a rich man's war,' an intense sectionalism within the seceding states themselves, the pacifist influence of certain foreign and Quaker groups . A solid and well documented study." ~New Republic / "This is the sort of book necessary to balance accounts of the Southern Confederacy. Heretofore, the impression has been too often left that the South fought as a unit with a common purpose." ~Journal of Southern History.

Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. First Edition, 10th Printing. BRAND NEW Copy. Written in 1938. An autobiography/memoir of a physician written at the request of his daughter who was a nurse. Though a personal record, Dr. Hertzler did not want to write as "one of the species" of old country doctors; indeed, he considered writing anonymously (ultimately persuaded otherwise) that it might be "a history of [his] own times . and personal only as far as is necessary in order to give it a point." In boyhood he witnessed sudden and helpless deaths of playmates felled by epidemic diphtheria; as a man he saw the bacterial desease brought under control by "one tube of antitoxin". In training, as a prelimary to entering medical school (Northwestern Univ) in the 1890s, he began by "reading medicine" with an established practioners known as a preceptor (an apprenticeship including janitorial duties) and prove himself worthy in moral character. At book's end, the doctor laments the rising costs of medical care . that many people make "no provisions for rainy days" but will not subscribe to medical insurance, made city hospitals "palaces of the rich". On the serious end, Dr. Hertzler did succeed in writing a history of his times, and, remarkably addresses issues of our times as well; as highlights in his own life, the book is rich in humour and good cheer.
