- Summary
- "A regimental surgeon promoted to hospital director in the War of 1812, Joseph Lovell, MD, became the first Army staff-level surgeon general. This volume is an in-depth analysis of how Lovell's report on Army medicine just after the war gave rise to innovations, from focus on the soldier's welfare and preventive medicine to accurate epidemiology and experimental research, that formed the organizational and functional principles of today's professional and effective Medical Department"--Provided by publisher.
