D: Surgeon United States Army and Medical Director of the Army of the Potomac\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIT is the purpose of this memoir to perpetuate the name and to honor the memory of an officer who effected an organization of the Medical Department of an army in the field, that not only contributed in a large degree to the discipline and efficiency of the foremost Army of the Republic, but also robbed war of many of its horrors; who left behind him for the use of those to come the record of the means by which these noble ends may be again achieved; and who, in rendering this great service to his country, added a brilliant page to the record of the humane character of his profession.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Jonathan Letterman was born in Canonsburg, Washington County, Pennsylvania, on December 11, 1824. His father was an eminent surgeon and practitioner of medicine in the western part of that State, and carefully educated his son for his own profession. His studies were directed by a private tutor until he entered Jefferson College in his native county in 1842, and he graduated thence in 1845.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
