(1) 4-6 Illustrated by Peter McCarty. Mary Breckinridge (1881-1965) founded the Frontier Nursing Service, gathering dedicated nurses to serve remote areas. Drawing details from Breckinridge's autobiography and basing her "true-to-life" characters on those in a 1930 film by Breckinridge's niece, Wells offers three compelling vignettes exemplifying and illuminating the work of the FNS in Kentucky's Appalachia.
