| "Mother" Bickerdyke is my heroine of the Civil War for her moral and physical courage and immense compassion. It's fitting that through her Ball lineage she's related to Martha Washington. Bickerdyke is featured as herself in my work of fiction _South Under a Prairie Sky: The Journal of Nell Churchill, US Army Nurse & Scout_ (Xlibris Corp. 1-888-795-4274j. My mother was from Kirkwood, IL about 15 miles from Galesburg.C. Kay Larson - Kay Larson Added: Oct. 7, 2010 | |||

 Dear "Mother",God bless you for the many lives that were saved because you had the tenacity and knowledge to set forth standards of sanitation and cleanlyness that saved many a life.Someone once witnessed you dress down General Sherman over things she wanted done with the care or lack there of of the sick and wounded .The visitor remarked to Gen.Sherman,"How can you allow that woman to speak to you in such a manner?".Sherman responded,"She out ranks me".God bless you forever dear angel lady.- Chaplain Added: Jun. 30, 2009 | |||
