Summary:  The nurses of the Civil War ushered in a new era for medicine in the midst of tremendous hardship. The story of the nurses at Mansion House, the Alexandria, Virginia mansion turned into a war-time hospital and setting for the PBS drama Mercy Street. Among the Union soldiers, doctors, wounded men from both sides, freed slaves, politicians, speculators, and spies who passed through the hospital in the crossroads of the Civil War, were nurses who gave their time freely and willingly to save lives and aid the wounded. These women saw casualties on a scale Americans had never seen before. The series follows the lives of women like Dorothea Dix, Mary Phinney and Anne Reading before, during, and after their epic struggle in Alexandria and reveals their personal contributions to this astounding period in the advancement of medicine.
