Dr. Hettie K. Painter




           In this battered tintype - an extremely rare interior view - workers and soldiers gather around a stove in a hospital tent at City Point, Virginia. The only identifiable member of the group is Hettie Painter, second from left, a fully qualified physician who served throughout the war as a volunteer nurse.
