Book desription: New York: Viking, 1999. 8th Printing. Hard Cover. New/New. McCarty, Peter. This slim volume tells the story of the first nurse to go into the Applachian mountains to provide medical care to the isolated inhabitants. Mary Breckinridge, trained as a nurse during World War I, rode on horseback into the mountains and never looked back. Instead, she spent her life fording icy streams and climbing untracked mountains to bring medical help to those in need. In these well-crafted stories, the author has created three beautifully realized characters. Through their eyes, young readers will see the enormous goodness and vitality of this undercelebrated American heroine. 53 pages, illustrated. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
