As They Saw Her ... Florence Nightingale - Delgado, Alan
As They Saw Her ... Florence Nightingale - Delgado, Alan
Clean, tight, unmarked; dust jacket has very light wear to upper edge; price clipped; colours bright, unfaded; blue cloth covers with beige titles; very minimal wear; Two Catholic nuns, Sarah Terrot and Margaret Goodman, kept vivid and detailed diaries of the terrifying voyage and the appalling conditions at Scutari that the nurses working with Florence Nightingale had to overcome. Their accounts are reinforced by newspaper articles, letters to the Times, and letters written by other Sellonite Sisters and their patients. The result is a gripping and horrifying account of the early days of nursing, ending where the story of nursing really begins - with the founding of Florence Nightingale's school for nurses, four years after the end of the Crimean War.
