Mary On Horseback

Mary Breckinridge, trained as a nurse during World War I, rode on horseback into the isolated mountians of Appalachia and never looked back. Instead, she spent her life fording icy streams and climbing untracked mountains to bring medical help to those in need. More nurses on horseback joined Mary...and the Frontier Nursing Service was born. Mary's story is amazing. And it is true.
