Summary "John Call Dalton, M.D., U.S.V." by John Call Dalton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative details the personal military experiences of Dr. John Call Dalton, a surgeon in the U.S. Volunteers, during the Civil War, specifically focusing on his service and observations throughout pivotal campaigns. The book provides not only an inside look at military operations but also insights into the socio-political environment of the time. The opening of the book introduces readers to Dalton's experiences beginning in April 1861, as the Civil War intensifies following the fall of Fort Sumter. Dalton recounts his enlistment and appointment as the assistant surgeon for the Seventh Regiment as they prepare to defend Washington, D.C. He vividly describes the enthusiasm of New Yorkers rallying for the troops, the regiment's arduous journey filled with obstacles and delays, and their eventual arrival in Washington. Through his eyes, we see both the chaotic mobilization and the emotional atmosphere of a city on the brink of conflict, setting the stage for his subsequent military adventures.
