{"value"=>"<p>These are directories to general and field hospitals at an unidentified location. The numerous patient transfers \"to Nashville\" and other locations such as Murfreesboro, Knoxville, Lookout Mountain, and Bridgeport, AL, indicate a possible connection to Chattanooga.</p> <p>Directory entries are arranged by state regiment or other military identification. States and regiments are not in any particular order and may repeat throughout the volume. The volumes appear to be grouped into \"sets\" covering particular spans of time. Thus, the entries for particular regiments over an extended period of time will be found in more than one volume. Entries include date, abbreviated hospital name (G1, G2, Off[icers], etc.), name, rank, company, disease and remarks. Remarks include type and date of events such as discharge, transfer, furlough and death, and may record events preceding or following the date of entry. In some cases the entries function only as a record of death, and may note the exact location of temporary or permanent burial. Some volumes have title pages; all volumes are indexed by state and regiment or other unit, referring to page numbers. Title pages and volume indexes are not necessarily accurate or complete. Occasionally entries are found on index pages. Some volumes contain entries for private citizens, USSC and government employees, and Confederates. \"Promiscuous Dead\" refer to partially identified or unaffiliated persons. Regiments listed under Southern states such as Virginia and Alabama appear to be Union regiments.</p>"}
