When Lincoln met Wisconsin's Nightingale:Cordelia Harvey's Campaign for Civil War Soldier Care

Book Description

This book transcends not only the humanitarian contributions of Cordelia Harvey (Wisconsin's Nightingale), but more importantly on how this loving and compassionate nineteenth century woman was able to change the mind of a powerful man, namely President Abraham Lincoln. Various scenarios are brought to light throughout a traumatic time in American History (the American Civil War 1861-1865). An historical insight of Abraham Lincoln, prior to, and during his presidency is featured. It reveals details about his family, but more importantly, it shares intimate information of Mr. Lincoln’s private and public persona. A chapter is devoted to reveal who Cordelia was, by discussing at great length her life before, during and after this traumatic period in history. The chapter describing her actual campaign is highly significant, as it reveals the factual dialogue that transpired during her many visits with President Lincoln. It describes what she did, and how she accomplished what she set out to do, which was to have hospitals made available in Wisconsin for the walking wounded.

Favorite Quote or Personal Motto

As a civic-minded citizen; I think that we should all try to give something back to our communities. One of my main interests is in people. I enjoy being involved and helping whenever and wherever I can. My motto is that you will never outgrow your need for people and knowledge. Life itself is a lifelong learning process. When we stop learning, we stop living. I retired from active employment, not from active enjoyment.
