Bread and Butter Journey, by Anne Colver, is a masterpiece in children's liturature. It is perfect for any age. Bread and Butter Journey is a great story that illustrates the hardships early pioneers experienced on the pioneer trail. It is a story of one girl's struggles as she leaves her home, deep in the Philadelphia Mountains because her father feels it is his duty to help expand the borders of the newly formed United States by settling the West. She, her friends Tess and Trudy, and their mothers must travel hundreds of miles, with her fifteen year old brother to lead them, to the houses their fathers have already built on the frontier. On the trail she and her friends experience fear, illness, and sadness due to loss. Their emotions are extremely clear. There are few other books that are as clear, realistic, and well-written as Bread and Butter Journey. It is one of my favorites.

I first read Florence Nightengale: War Nurse when I was a child. Ever since then it has been one of my favorite books and now I am an adult. I was very inspired by Florence. I am now enlisted as a nurse in the Air Force. I too would like to help all the wounded soulders. Once again thank you for all the inspiration.
