EW OF REVIEWS CO. UNION HAND-STRETCHERS AT WORK AT MARYES HEIGHTS IN MAY, 1864 Over fifty thousand hand-stretchers of various patterns were issued by the Union Government during thewar. It was by means of them that the removal of the helpless wounded from the battlefield was effected.The best pattern of hand-stretcher weighed twenty-four pounds, was quickly collapsible when not required,and possessed legs which made its temporary use as a cot readily possible. This photograph shows thewounded on ISIaryes Heights after the battle at Spotsylvania. May 12, 1864. The wounded man on thestretcher is gazing rather grimly at the camera. His hand is bound up, and his foot showing at the end ofthe stretcher is bare. The poor fellow in the foreground seems pretty far gone. His face is as pale as theblanket which covers him. The whole group of strong men struck down typifies the awful effects of war.
