William A. Carrington Papers
Table of Contents from the Compiled Service Record of William A. Carrington (M331).


NOTE: Carrington was the chief inspector of the Richmond area hospitals for a period in the middle of the war, and most of the inspection reports cited below are several detailed pages on appearance, dimensions, and practices of the various hospitals around Richmond.
