Union Hero - the Letters and Journals of a Civl War Surgeon
This is the fascinating account of the life of Dr. Franklin Dyer, a surgeon in the Union Army who participated in the battles of Antietam, Gettysburg, Spotsylvania and Petersburg among many others. Dr. Dyer served in the Union Army for three years, eventually becoming the Acting Medical Director of the entire Second Corps.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.
