| Hospital Scenes, a book published by the Patriot Daughters of Lancaster in 1864 recounting their aid trip to Gettysburg. The book was sold as a fundraiser. Original copies today have sold for over $1,000. |
Additionally, Google provides full-text searchability which makes research queries possible that probably couldn't have been dreamed of ten years ago. For instance, by typing in "Henry A. Hambright" and setting a couple search parameters, I can see just about every time the regiment's colonel has appeared in print.
I have begun assembling my own small virtual bookshelf of public domain books related to this blog, so I invite you to check them out here: Google Books: Lancaster at War.

A note to myself for future reference: the author of Hospital Scenes is Martha Ehler, according to:

"The Patriot Daughters Of Lancaster, Hospital Scenes After the Battle of Gettysburg (Philadelphia: 1864), pp. 54-57. The original book printed in a limited edition did not make mention of the authors name. This has led to confusion over the years as to her identity. An Obituary notice in the Star & Sentinel for July 22, 1875 makes it clear however, that Martha A. Ehler was the author."
