Alexandria At War With (Madeline Feierstein) Episode Three: A City of Hospitals 

In this episode of Alexandria at War, produced by the American Civil War & UK History podcast, host Daz is joined by historian Madeline Feierstein of Rooted in Place to explore the hospitals of Alexandria during the American Civil War.

During the American Civil War, Alexandria, Virginia became a major Union medical center after its occupation in 1861. Its river and rail connections made it ideal for transporting wounded soldiers from nearby battlefields.
By war’s end, the city had more than 30 hospitals, including the Mansion House Hospital and L'Ouverture Hospital, treating thousands of Union soldiers throughout the conflict.
