The narrative follows Tribulation Periwinkle, who eagerly volunteers as a nurse for the Union Army during the Civil War, driven by a desire to contribute meaningfully. Her journey to Washington D.C. is fraught with challenges, including securing a spot on a train and tending to wounded soldiers after the Battle of Fredericksburg. Alcott's own experiences as a nurse, including contracting typhoid fever, inform these sketches, which blend her real-life challenges with fictional elements. The sketches garnered significant acclaim, launching Alcott's writing career.
