MacDougall Hospital
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MacDougall Hospital was a U.S. Army military hospital located at Fort Schuyler in New York City before and during the American Civil War.
It had a capacity of 2000 beds. In October 1863, the hospital was "to be removed without delay"; it was one of the oldest of the U.S. military hospitals. During the Civil War, about 16% of its patients were lost by desertion and failure to return from furlough. [1]
In the Fall of 1864, the hospital housed 1600 patients.[2]
