Book Description
In her later years, while World War II was raging, Lora Wood Hughes wrote about her busy and interesting life as a nurse. The reissue of No Time for Tears, long out of print, restores her voice to human memory. During a career that took her to Hawaii, Montana, Washington, and Canada, she never stopped caring for people, and some of them would have tried anyone's patience. Among her "cases" described in lively detail here are a stingy dowager and a measle-ridden prostitute who causes her to be quarantined in a house of ill fame. The "crazy patterns" of her rich and humane life continued into World War II when, instead of resting in her home on Puget Sound, she supervised a Red Cross hospital unit.

Book Description
On March 3, 1871, Congress established the United States Centennial Commission, charged with “an International Exhibition of Arts, Manufactures, and Products of the Soil and Mine.” Philadelphia was chosen as the site of the Centennial Exhibition. On June 5, 1874, President Grant extended invitations to the governments of the world to participate in the Exhibition. All thirty-nine nations accepted. This was a six-month international event, running from May 1876 to November 1876. The Centennial Exhibition attracted over ten million visitors. It was a showcase of American ingenuity and inventions. Typewriters, telephones, and steam pistons as well as art were displayed. The invited countries displayed their own national products and art. The Turkey delegation brought its crown jewels. While City Council argued about final funding for City Hall, the population and visitors celebrated. American women could not vote. Discrimination and persecution against African Americans was prevalent. Regardless, people met, fell in love, and committed crimes.
