Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Makers of the World's History and Their Grand Achievements: Containing Graphic Accounts of Men and Women Whose Daring Deeds Have Given Them World-Wide Fame Comprising Heroes of Land and Sea
Noble women have followed recent wars, and by their gentle minis tries have saved the life of many a poor soldier, and have comforted the dying moments of others. Florence Nightingale on the blood-stained fields of the Crimea Clara Barton, Annie E. Wheeler, daughter of General joe Wheeler, and others in our civil war and war with Spain, and the grand host of women who have performed deeds worthy of ministering angels, illumine the glowing pages of this sumptuous work.
Their smile cheered the weary sufferers of the hospital and the field of carnage; they whispered words of comfort to the dying; men who had fought and bled kissed the shadows of the grand heroines as they passed. The reader follows their experiences with wonderful interest.
In addition to these, the reader is charmed with the record of toils and sacrifices on the part of such moral heroines as Frances Willard and Ellen M. Stone, captured by Turkish brigands.
