Description
Susie King Taylor, born a slave in 1848, would learn to read at secret schools and go on to teach countless others to read and write. Follow the course of the Civil War in her own words as she remembers her work as a nurse and teacher with an Army troop of African-American soldiers.
Reviews
...a good way to study first-person accounts, writing, and historical events. While the information is not detailed enough for a middle school research paper, it would be a place to get started or might benefit a struggling reader.-- "School Library Connection"
