Biography Of An Angel- Annie E., Nurse In The Civil War,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gentle Annie: The True Story of a Civil War Nurse (Paperback)
This is the life story of Annie E., the civil war heroine. It tells of her whole life, starting from a happy 10 year old. She had to grow up heartbreakingly fast when her father became ill. She baked and sold bread and worked as a nurse. When her father died, and her marriage failed, she got a job as a nurse. Then she joined the army, to do what she loved- be a nurse. Of the 20 girls she was recruited with, Annie as the only one left when they went to war. She braved death in the face, caring for soldiers of both armies. She worked among the blood and gunpowder and death, but never once lost her goodness. At the end of the war, she received a medal for bravery.

J.S.'S Review,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Gentle Annie: The True Story of a Civil War Nurse (Paperback)
I think gentle Annie is a very good book. On a scale from 1-10 I would give it a 9, because it is a very good book it has a good beginning, a good middle, but it kind of leaves you hanging at the end. The genre is historical fiction, but it's based on a real person named Anna Blair Etheridge. The setting is Detroit Michigan, but then Annie was told she was moving to Milwaukee Wisconsin with her dad. When she was 16 she moved back to Detroit Michigan to join the Michigan army. When she gets there she goes through boot camp and trains to be a nurse for the Union Army. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading historical fiction stories, someone who enjoys reading stories about the past, and anyone who enjoys reading as much as I do!

This is the best biography ever!!!!,
By GD "kaiousei" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gentle Annie: The True Story of a Civil War Nurse (Paperback)
"Gentle Annie" is the best biography that I've ever read! If you want to get this, don't wait. It's the best for really sensitive people though. It touches people. It also makes them cry a bit, but in a good way. I loved this book.
