MacDougall Hospital

MacDougall Hospital

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. [See: a "post history" for Fort Schuyler on NARA microfilm M903 reel 4; "Brooklyn Eagle", October 22, 1863, p. 3; and History of Fort Schuyler, http://us.geocities.com/twentiethnyva/schuyler.]

In the Fall of 1864, the hospital housed 1600 patients. ["New York Times", November 19, 1864, p. 8.]
