A step back in time that is wonderful.

This is the actual journal of a young nurse who traveled from her home in England to the US during the time of the civil war. It is a fascinating account of the events and people of the time from a first hand point of view. I could not put it down. I highly recommend this for anyone who likes history, but it is also the story of a young British nurse who worked for Florence Nightengale before she was the icon she has become. She gives a first hand account of the murder and funeral of President Lincoln and the feelings of those who were alive at the time. I loved it and wanted more.
