Famous Nurses from the Civil War
permalink
Nurses Dorothea Dix, Sally Louisa Tompkins, Mary Todd Lincoln, Mary Ann Ball Bickerdyke, Mary Jane Safford, and Clarissa Barton - angels on the Civil War battlefields and matriarchal leaders of the hospitals.

Dorothea Dix was sixty years old when the Civil War began, considered by some "too old" to "do any good" for the Northern cause...

Great information - thanks for sharing! Nice to see some names that don't always get recognized get the credit that they deserve.
