Hospital Sketches: Hospital Sketches (1863) was the author’s first claim to fame. As the night nurse on a three-room ward, Alcott found the vivid characters she would bring to life in "Hospital Sketches": a little Ohio sargent who had lost his right arm in battle and was teaching himself to write left handed, a 12-year old drummer mourning the loss of a buddy, a helpful Prussian who spoke no English, and a nameless man so addled by war that he was given to running up and down the aisles yelling all night long.
