from another list: The site of the Camp Letterman General Hospital in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, is under the current threat of being developed. Named after then-Medical Director for the Army of the Potomac, Dr. Jonathan Letterman, Camp Letterman treated thousands of wounded Union and Confederate soldiers, including soldiers from all states, North and South, from mid-July through November, 1863. It was the first General Hospital of its kind.
