Forgotten angels : the lives of African American women who served as nurses in the Civil War
"Unheralded heroes. African American women were healing angels in the Civil War. Thousands of them nursed soldiers and refugees during and after the conflict. But they seldom were granted the respected title of "nurse," and because most could not read or write, their stories went largely unrecorded. Forgotten Angels recounts the histories of seven of these remarkable women, who endured racism and sexism while serving their country and struggling to build futures for themselves and their families. Based on extensive research yet told in an easily readable style, Forgotten Angels brings to life heroic role models who have too long been overlooked in the study of the Civil War."--Back cover
