Mary On Horseback

FROM SARAH:

Told in three incredible true stories, Mary on Horseback shows how one woman’s courage and compassion transformed the lives of families who had little access to medical care. I’d recommend it for readers 8 and up.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Mary Breckinridge, trained as a nurse during World War I, rode on horseback into the isolated mountains of Appalachia and never looked back. Instead, she spent her life fording icy streams and climbing untracked mountains to bring medical help to those in need. More nurses on horseback joined Mary . . . and the Frontier Nursing Service was born. Mary’s story is amazing. And it is true.
