Author Jane E. Schultz will speak about how we have now come to understand the importance of medical partnering in medicine during the Civil War. As medicine was professionalizing and nursing was not yet a profession, doctors and nurses who worked together during the war depended on one another to get the job done. After the war, as nursing became a profession, physicians were no less dependent on teams of workers, but professional status actually separated the objectives of nurses and doctors in the later 19th Century. Harriet Eaton, whose diary Schultz published in 2010 as "This Birth Place of Souls: The Civil War Nursing Diary of Harriet Eaton", will provide the focal point for this lecture.
