A Heart for Healing: A Memoir of the Life of Elizabeth Cambell Bickford

This exciting true story illustrates the progress of the nursing profession during the 20th Century, through the life of Elizabeth Campbell Bickford. The story begins in Nova Scotia, goes through nurses training in Massachusetts, into World War I, and to Oregon after the war. Read about her experiences in the Army Nurses Corps during World War I on the front lines in the Meuse-Argonne sector of France; her training at the Henry Street Settlement House in the slums in New York City; and her adventures as a Public Health Nurse in Coos County and Hood River County, Oregon. Her enthusiasm and concern for others, and her willingness to work for the causes she believed in kept her involved with her lifelong mission of providing care and education for all with whom she came in contact. In A Heart for Healing, Halvorson has done a thorough job of compiling the life and times of her mother in a very readable and interesting book.
