Description: The Frontier Nursing Service nurse-midwives rode on horseback up Kentucky's rugged hollows to deliver babies, treat the sick and injured, winter or summer, night or day. They risked surprise encounters with bootleggers, they answered the call alone with only what they could carry in their saddlebags.
