Mary Breckinridge was a nurse who helped the people in the mountains by giving them medicine. She lived back then because they only had horses to ride. (We don’t do that now, we ride cars now.) They needed the medicine or they would get more sick and die. No one else had the medicine so only Mary could. She lived on one side of the Rocky Mountains and the others lived on the other side. The people loved her because they had been waiting for the medicine but when she got there lots of them had died.
One time she helped a little girl named Sue. Sue got sick because her grandmother had got sick and she had gone too close to her and got her sickness. Mary Breckinridge went to help Sue but Sue was already half dead. But she gave her medicine and then the part that was half dead healed. And her grandmother died though.

The end.
