Adventures of an Army Nurse in Two Wars

Adventures of an Army Nurse in Two Wars is a book based on the letters and diary entries of American Mary Phinney von Olnhausen (1818-1902), who worked as an army nurse in the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865 and the Franco-Prussian War in 1870.

The book was edited by her nephew, James Phinney Munroe, and published in 1904 by Little, Brown and Company, after Mary Phinney's death.

The first part of the book explores the lives of people who worked in the Mansion House Hospital in Alexandria, as well as Phinney's work at the Mansfield General Hospital at Morehead, North Carolina. The second part discusses her work as a nurse in 1870 in the Franco-Prussian War.
