Title:  Gentle Annie:  The True Story of a Civil War Nurse
Author:  Mary Francis Shura
Reviewer:  Hanna H. '11
This book is about Annie Etheridge who, at 16 years old, enlists in the Union Army. She has to cook and sew and do the laundry. All the others complain but Annie sticks to it. When they go to fight, they all leave. Annie is loved by the soldiers and they call her "Gentle Annie."

This book is quite interesting. Annie's real name is Anna B. Etheridge. It is really cool how the author made it feel like you are really watching the war
