Title: The Gentle Legions
Author: Richard Carter
Publisher: Doubleday & Company, Inc., Garden City, New York
Published: 1961
Binding: Hardcover
Language: English
Number of Pages: 335
Catalogs: Philanthropy, History of Medicine, Nursing History
Description: Original red cloth binding with white text on spine. Dust-jacket is in very good condition, with age related wear. This book bears the stamp of the North Haven Public Health Association on the flyleaf, but in no other way can it be considered ex-library. Pages are lightly tanned but unmarked. This is the first book-length study of national voluntary health organizations such as the American Red Cross, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, the National Tuberculosis Association, the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, and many others. The book chronicles the volunteerism of a mostly female cohort which he calls "the gentle legions," and who constitute the largest social and humanitarian movement in the United States at the time of writing. It also documents the struggle between local United Funds and their national organizations. From the nursing history collection of Sarah Abrams. Hardcover, very good condition. 335 pages, octavo.
