They fell back on homemade remedies, such as using jimson weed for fever or blackberry root for dysentery.ĭowney, Tom. Southern nurses often didn’t have the required medicines on hand to treat the soldiers. Columbia Wayside Hospital, located at the South Carolina Railroad Depot, served about 75,000 soldiers, becoming the largest wayside hospital in the state. Raleigh, Orangeburg, Greenville, Sumter, and Florence also had these types of hospitals. South Carolina’s first wayside hospital opened in Charleston in November of 1861. 5,795 soldiers received care in that village before the hospital closed in May of 1865. The Barbee Hotel in High Point was changed into a wayside hospital on September 1, 1863. Surgeons worked at larger hospitals with beds for overnight stays. Most wayside hospitals offered meals and some nursing. Women living in North Carolina, at great personal sacrifice, established and served at wayside hospitals in the railroad towns of Charlotte, Fayetteville, Weldon, Greensboro, Tarboro, Wilmington, Goldsboro, Salisbury, and High Point. If the soldier was too ill to continue on his journey, he remained at the wayside hospital until his condition improved enough for him to go home, or to a larger general hospital, or he died. Large buildings-schools, churches, barns-near railroad depots were used to treat the sick and wounded. Southern women established wayside hospitals as small field hospitals to give water, food, shoes, clothing, medicine and bandages to wounded soldiers. Casualties began soon after the Civil War started on April 12, 1861.
