The U. S. Sanitary Commission collected quilts, coverlets, sheets, shirts, socks, bandages, and food items from across the northern states into their regional centers. The official Sanitary Commission stamp on the back of this quilt authenticates that the Ladies of the Fort Hill Sewing Circle donated it to the Sanitary Commission.
