Everyone knows the battles of the Civil War, with their generals and their soldiers. But few people living today know the story of Mary Mother Bickerdyke, a hero in her time. n nMother: The Life of Mary Bickerdyke is the story of a woman who revolutionized the healing process. Mary travelled the width and breadth of America, working in hospitals, asylums, prisons, missions, houses of the poor...and at many a battlefield. She is most often recognized for her work during the American Civil War, but her loving toil occurred throughout her long life. n nMary helped soldiers and generals, paupers and farmers, orphans and amputees. She loved her country and its people, and gave up a life of ease to care for others. As Mary Livermore once wrote, the good woman lived a grand, good life, packed with noble deeds wrought for others. Now, her astounding history has been captured for the modern reader in Mother: The Life of Mary Bickerdyke.
