520 _a"Under the Guns: A Woman's Reminiscences of the Civil War" by Annie Wittenmyer is a personal historical account written in the late 19th century. The author recounts her experiences as a nurse and aid worker during the American Civil War, highlighting the roles women played in supporting soldiers and tending to the wounded. This work focuses on real-life incidents and heartfelt stories, providing a unique perspective on the war from a woman's viewpoint. The opening of the memoir sets the tone for Wittenmyer's narrative as she outlines her intention to share personal stories rather than military history. She describes how she became involved in hospital work when camps were established near her home in Iowa, detailing her early experiences ministering to soldiers and witnessing the impact of the war firsthand. Wittenmyer emphasizes the bravery and decency of soldiers, recounting her interactions with military leaders and the heartfelt incidents she encountered, framing her memories with both respect for those who served and a deep compassion for the suffering endured.
