“In my 60 years of journalism. I’ve broken a lot of big stories but I’m green with envy at what Dale Walker has done. He’s got the scoop of a lifetime-discovering one of America’s greatest unsung heroes, a woman to rank with our greatest soldiers, explorers, and scientists. In a biography of grace and passion, Dale Walker rescues Mary Edwards Walker from the ash-heap of oblivion.” —Jack Anderson, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist

“A remarkable story about an extraordinary woman. A heroine in every sense of the word. Even without the Congressional Medal of Honor, Mary Edwards Walker was a tenacious, determined “Quiet Professional”. She ventured or was trust into experiences that few would dare. A great story by a most talented writer.” —Major General Sid Shachnow (U.S. Army, Ret.), author of

Hope and Honor

“It’s a tragedy that one of America’s greatest heroes, a battlefield nurse and winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor, lies unknown in an unvisited grave, and that no one has thought to write a book about her in the 100 years since she died. That Dale Walker has taken up her cause and written a book of such power and passion is a credit to both his skill and humanity. Walker does a profound service to us all-and to Mary Edwards Walker.” —David Nevin, New York Times bestselling author of Dream West

“There are more familiar heroines from the 19th Century-Julia Ward Howe, Amelia Jenks Bloomer, Florence Nightingale, to name a few-but none were more important in advancing medicine and advocating women’s rights than Mary Edwards Walker. Eccentric but lovable, she led the way at tremendous personal cost, with amazing personal courage.” —Walter Boyne, New York Times bestselling author of Operation Iraqi Freedom
