Pam is curator at the New England Quilt Museum, which has several Civil War quilts made to warm hospitalized soldiers. She & Don did a preliminary study for the 2012 edition but she has found more information. Her focus is New England where these Sanitary Commission quilts were made by the thousands, but very few survive.

I use her book all the time as a basis for biographical tales about the women who made these remarkable bedcovers.
