An American Civil
War Era Vivandière
by Susan Foreman

O

Shown is a hand-colored carte by Gurney, of Mrs.
Sidney Brown in a vivandière's outfit, with drum,
canteen, and 21st Regiment hat. Pencil identification
and Gurney's imprint. Sidney Brown was an
operator/artist (colorist) working at Gurney's address
in the 1850s, and they quite possibly maintained
a working relationship into the Civil War years.

FALL 2019

ver the past several years I have been actively
involved with two very special Civil War era
dolls... Rose Percy and Ethel Newcome. Through
my extensive research regarding the importance of
these two dolls and their relationship to the American Civil
War, I have learned so much more about those tumultuous
years from 1861 to 1865. The American Civil War, whether
referred to as the War Between the States, the War to
Preserve the Union, or the War of Northern Aggression,
is probably the most studied and written about period of
U.S. history. However, through the eyes of Rose and Ethel I
learned far more than I ever learned in History 101.
The opening paragraph in David McCullough's book
entitled The American Spirit well describes my discoveries as
I ventured down this research road:
"History, I like to think, is a larger way of looking
at life. It is a source of strength, of inspiration. It
is about who we are and what we stand for and is
essential to our understanding of what our own
role should be in our time. History, as can't be
said too often, is human. It is about people, and
they speak to us across the years."
Much of my initial research delved into the
establishment and importance of the United States Sanitary
Commission. The Sanitary Commission was formed to
assist the army in providing care for the sick and wounded
Union soldiers and to aid their dependent families.
Through the combined efforts of the Women's Central
Association of Relief (a group of New York City ladies
concerned about the conditions of the Union soldiers),
a Unitarian Minister, and the Surgeon General of the
U.S. the Commission was established. Because proper
ladies were not permitted to travel, the Women's Central
Association enlisted the aid of Reverend Henry Bellows to
go to Washington DC to persuade the Federal government
to help. Hence an order was issued by Secretary of War,
Edwin Stanton and signed by President Lincoln resulting in
the formation of the Sanitary Commission in June 1861.
