Abstract
The purposes of this research were to create and historicize a phenomenological description of the lived experience of nurse-caring by the culture of white Northern women during the American Civil War. Primary sources included: unpublished and published Civil War letters, journals, diaries, memoirs, reminiscences, narratives and records from 1861 through 1911. The phenomenological description was created using van Manen's (1990) approach for hermeneutic phenomenology and Drew's (2001) method for examining the researcher's pre-understanding of a phenomenon. The phenomenological description was historicized using Leininger's (1995) Sunrise Model as a framework.
