Samuel Preston Moore was trained as a military surgeon in the US Army but resigned his commission and was appointed Surgeon-General of the Confederate States Army Medical Department at the beginning of the American Civil War. He reformed the mediocre medical corps by raising recruiting standards and improving treatment protocols and by placing the most capable surgeons in positions of authority. He improved the ambulance corps and directed the construction of many new hospitals for Confederate casualties. He was directly responsible for the barracks hospital design, which is still used today. He established the Confederate States Medical and Surgical Journal and directed a successful effort to develop substitutes for scarce pharmaceuticals from the indigenous flora of the South. He founded the Association of Army and Navy Surgeons of the Confederate States of America. With skill and dedication, Dr. Moore transformed the medical corps into one of the most effective departments of the Confederate military and was responsible for saving thousands of lives on the battlefield.
塞缪尔·普雷斯顿·摩尔曾在美国陆军接受军事外科医生培训，但他辞去了军职，并在美国内战初期被任命为 Confederate 州陆军医疗部的军医总监。他通过提高招募标准、改进治疗方案以及将最有能力的外科医生安排在权威职位上，对平庸的医疗队进行了改革。他改进了救护队，并指挥建造了许多新医院来收治 Confederate 的伤员。他直接负责兵营医院的设计，该设计至今仍在使用。他创办了《Confederate 州医学与外科杂志》，并成功领导了一项从南方本土植物中开发稀缺药品替代品的工作。他创立了美国 Confederate 州陆军和海军外科医生协会。摩尔医生凭借其技能和奉献精神，将医疗队转变为 Confederate 军队中最有效的部门之一，并在战场上挽救了数千人的生命。
