I'm afraid I know very little about the American Civil War but this didn't spoil my enjoyment of this story where a doctor travels back in time and becomes caught up in the civil war.  I enjoyed all of the descriptions of the operations and this really brought it home to me how gruesome war is - especially without anesthetic or a clear understanding of the importance of hygiene.I also loved the time traveling element - I'm always a sucker for that! but it was very well done here.Great story, believable character and I couldn't put it down until it was finished.
