Mary Seacole 
Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands [EPUB ebook] 

Written in 1857, this autobiography of Mary Seacole is a book you will not want to put it down. Mary’s life had intention, bravery, and persistence.
During the Crimean War Seacole offered to volunteer as a nurse to wounded soldiers, however she was met with racism and refusals.
Unphased by the response, she went independently to the Crimea where she became not only a nurse, but a caregiver to wounded soldiers.
Her journey is filled with sickness, and challenges along the way, all while running her own business, the ’British Hotel.’
